Conventional geologic thinking always said that the landscape between Idaho and the Cascade Mountains -- a unique place characterized by gullies, coulees, and deserts -- was created over millions of years by rivers that had long since gone dry. Science professor J Harlen Bretz (who made up his own name and intentionally didn't use a period after J), thought otherwise.

Because Bretz was a gadfly in the scientific community and his idea sounded like an attempt to prove the biblical flood, he was personally and professionally attacked and humiliated.
