Mount Tambora’s volcanic eruption in Indonesia triggered the Year Without a Summer, causing crop failures across America and Europe. This climate catastrophe sparked the largest westward migration in early American history as tens of thousands abandoned their farms for the Ohio Valley. The volcanic winter also inspired Mary Shelley to write Frankenstein during the cold, dark summer she spent indoors in Switzerland. One volcano halfway around the world reshaped American expansion and gave birth to modern horror literature.
