While the rest of America was thriving, Montana was struggling
Line of Events
The Duttons face a new set of challenges in the early 20th century, including the rise of Western expansion, Prohibition, and the Great Depression.. While America’s Great Depression began in 1929, it got an early start in Montana. The Great Depression began in Montana in 1918, almost 10 years before the rest of the nation. Between drought and the reduced demand for agricultural products, due to the end of the "Great War" (aka First World War, from 1914 to 1918), many farmers suffered greatly.
In addition, 200 banks in Montana failed
As a result, Montana farmers would default on wartime loans which lead to widespread bank failure throughout the state. Between 1921-1925, half of the farmers in Montana lost their land. By 1925, 70,000 of the 82,000 homesteaders in Montana left. Not only were crops affected by the drought, it was followed by locusts infestation and cattle succumbing to contagion..

After Yellowstone this was a different but yet similar feel….. I genuinely enjoyed this and although I would need to see ore something makes me feel that maybe it could be better (a tougher challenge after Yellowstone!) BUT. POCKET. BUT….
This makes me so mad!
It finally seems to get going with the side stories merging…. And then it ends – obviously this is set up for a second season – BUT – if this doesn’t happen then you have just wasted your time as the story isn’t even at a conclusion by the end of this first season. And there is currently no announcement or schedule for a second season …. It’s like going to a great restaurant and only being served the side sissies with no main course!!!
