The Duttons faced new challenges in the early 20th century, including westward expansion, prohibition, and the rise of 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 prospered, Montana struggled. Amid drought and reduced demand for agricultural products, the outbreak of the "Great War" (aka World War I, 1914 to 1918) caused many farmers to suffer 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 been abandoned. In addition, 200 banks in Montana have failed. The drought has not only affected crops, but also infected locusts and livestock. He appears in The Eternals: Indiana Jones & Harrison Ford (2023). Lady Helen Mirren and Harrison Ford. It sounds like a winning recipe. And it is. The Duttons are once again fighting to maintain their Montana ranch lifestyle. Patriarch (Harrison Ford) Jacob Dutton is fighting almost the same battles in Yellowstone as John Dutton (Costner). It’s great fun. There are two other very interesting arcs in the story. One of them is Spencer Dutton. A disillusioned World War I veteran. Now he is a hunter in Africa. Spencer meets an English girl he likes. Suddenly they learn that they have to travel from Mogadishu, Somalia, to Montana. It should be easy… The second arc is told from a school where Native American girls are abused by Catholic priests and nuns. This episode was very uncomfortable to watch. There was a bit of revenge, which made it a bit watchable…I usually rate TV shows after 1 season. Not this time. I didn’t like the last episode. Explain why that would be spoiled. But I will watch season 2. I have to…
