The Duttons faced new challenges in the early 20th century, including the expansion of the West, 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, almost a decade before the rest of the country. While the rest of America prospered, Montana struggled. Between drought and reduced demand for agricultural products, due to the end of the “Great War” (also 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’s farmers lost their land. By 1925, 70,000 of Montana’s 82,000 settlers had left. Also 200 banks in Montana failed. Not only were crops affected by drought, locusts followed and cattle became infected. Appears in Timeless Heroes: Indiana Jones and Harrison Ford (2023). After Yellowstone it was a different but similar feeling….. I really enjoyed it and although I would have to see something different, something makes me feel like maybe it could have been better (more challenging after Yellowstone!) BUT. BUT. BUT…. It finally seems to start to wind down as the side stories come together…. And then it ends – of course it is set up for a second season – BUT – if that doesn’t happen then you just wasted your time because the story is not even finished at the end of this first season. And currently there is no announcement or schedule for a second season…. That’s what pisses me off so much! It’s like going to a great restaurant and only getting effeminate side dishes and no main course!!! What the hell… Well producers… Get your fingers out!!!!
