In this episode of The Atlas Obscura Podcast, we visit author Dave Eggers, who has an enduring affinity for Idaho. Eggers shares the story of a unique family that undertook what is perhaps one of the strangest, slowest moves in history. The fascinating tale provided inspiration for the writer’s new children’s book, Moving the Millers’ Minnie Moore Mine Mansion. Get the book here, and learn more about Eggers and his work here.
