Alonzo Pearl Troth (September 19, 1872 – May 19, 1945)[1] was a Zoology high school teacher and head of the natural science department at Lewis and Clark High School, Spokane, Washington, attributed by Joseph G. McMacken, head of the physical science department, to have been the first to come with an (unpublished) “Flood Theory”[2] as the origin of the Channeled Scablands.[3]
Troth was one of the founders of the NWSA. He was later honored a NWSA life-time membership.
