What this episode covers
In the fourth chapter of Land Grab, 20 years of pressure comes to a head, as Charlo’s bands of Salish people in the Bitterroot valley are finally forced out by troops from Fort Missoula, and make the long walk through downtown Missoula and up to the Jocko Reservation. We go deep into the circumstances that ultimately brought Charlo and his people to that decision, and find Andrew Hammond’s influence everywhere. We also see Montana officially enter the Union as the 41st state, and witness Hammond go to war with his former partner, Marcus Daly, over the shape that new state will take.
