Washington based dispatch recounts the origin of Hungry Horse dam on the Flathead River near Kalispell Montana. The 520 foot high concrete dam ranks as the world’s fourth tallest. The name comes from a winter 1900 oil rush when two horses survived being starved after going missing on the north fork of the Flathead.
