Chapter Ten: The Big Store
In the last episode of Land Grab, we try- as best we can- to unravel the twisted up tentacles of the Missoula Octopus. As the Great Depression washes over Montana, one organization seems remarkably immune: the Missoula Mercantile Company, which imbedded within every industry in the county, and floats the entire region throughout the turmoil. <br /> Throughout the run of this show, we’ve seen the Merc spread across Western Montana, ruling Missoula county and pulling in a constant, steady stream of cash from everyone in the area. But, starting at the turn of the 20th Century, that vast majority of that wealth, generated in Montana, began flowing upward and outward to the West Coast. This chapter, we follow the money and catch up with an old friend in San Francisco: Andrew B. Hammond. <br /> Find out more about Land Grab, and consider making a contribution at <a href="http://www.landgrabpodcast.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">www.landgrabpodcast.com</a> and find us on social media @landgrabpod<br /> <br />

Chapter Nine: Under Ditch
In the penultimate episode of Land Grab, we conclude our narrative on the ground on the Flathead Reservation with the story of the Flathead Irrigation Project and the construction of Kerr Dam. After tracing the path of multinational corporations like Standard Oil and Amalgamated as they took over Montana in the early 1900’s, we are going to see in this chapter how those multinationals imposed themselves on the Reservation, and confiscated the tribes’ most valuable remaining resource: the power site on the Flathead River Falls. <br /> Find out more about Land Grab, and consider making a contribution at <a href="http://www.landgrabpodcast.com/">www.landgrabpodcast.com</a> and find us on social media @landgrabpod<br /> Duration:<br /> 01:13:45<br /> <br />

Chapter Eight: Kicked by a Copper Boot
In Chapter Eight of Land Grab, we take a deep dive into the takeover of the Anaconda Company by Standard Oil, and the vicious decades of hegemonic corporate rule that followed in the 20th century. We look at how this reviled villain in “The Company”, and the devastating bust that brought an end to the homestead boom we covered in the last two chapters, conspired to bring Joseph M. Dixon out of the political wilderness to run for Governor in 1920, finding himself right at the heart of a conflict with Anaconda that would define a decade of Montana history. <br /> Find out more about Land Grab, and consider making a contribution at <a href="http://www.landgrabpodcast.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">www.landgrabpodcast.com</a> and find us on social media @landgrabpod<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
