The Duttons faced new challenges in the early 20th century, including the rise of westward expansion, Prohibition, and the Great Depression. While the American Great Depression began 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" (also known as World War I, from 1914 to 1918), many farmers suffered greatly. As a result, Montana farmers would be unable to repay their war loans, leading to widespread bankruptcies across 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 Montana banks failed. The drought not only affected crops, but was accompanied by an infestation of locusts and livestock that succumbed to the disease. He stars in Timeless Heroes: Indiana Jones and Harrison Ford (2023). It was a different, but similar feeling after Yellowstone….. I honestly enjoyed it and although I should have seen it, or something makes me feel like it could have been better (a tougher challenge after Yellowstone!) BUT. BUT. BUT… It seems like the subplots are finally starting to come together… And then there’s the end — apparently it’s set for a second season — BUT — if it doesn’t, you’ve just wasted your time because the story isn’t even from end to end of this first season. And there are currently no announcements or plans for a second season…. This makes me so angry! It’s like going to a fancy restaurant and being served only pussy on the side with no main course!!! What the hell….Come on manufacturers…. Pull your fingers out!!!!
