The Duttons faced new challenges in the early 20th century, including the rise of western expansion, prohibition, and the Great Depression. While the Great Depression began in America in 1929, it began early in Montana. The Great Depression began in Montana in 1918, nearly 10 years before the rest of the nation. While the rest of America was prospering, Montana was struggling. Between drought and reduced demand for agricultural products due to the end of the "Great War" (known as World War I, from 1914 to 1918), many farmers suffered greatly. As a result, Montana farmers defaulted on war loans, leading to widespread bank failures throughout the state. Between 1921 and 1925, half of Montana farmers lost their land. By 1925, 70,000 of Montana’s 82,000 farms had left. In addition, 200 banks in Montana had failed. Not only did the drought affect crops, but there was also a locust infestation and cattle succumbed to disease. He appears in the film Timeless Heroes: Indiana Jones and Harrison Ford (2023). It was a different, yet similar, feeling after Yellowstone….. I really enjoyed it and while I would have liked to see the ore, something makes me feel like it could have been better (a more challenging challenge after Yellowstone!) BUT. BUT. BUT…. It finally seems to pick up as the side stories merge… And then it ends – apparently it’s set for a second season – BUT – if it doesn’t, you’ve just wasted your time as the story isn’t even at the end of this first season. And there’s currently no announcement or plan for a second season…. That’s so annoying! It’s like going to a great restaurant and only being served side sissy without a main course!!! What The Heck….Come on manufacturers…. Pull your fingers out!!!!
