About this listen

The year 1887 has been a struggle for the poor folks living in the small mining town of Montrose, Colorado. Promised a better life to live west of the Mississippi river, the town is more used for shipping supplies for the mining community through the Denver and Rio Grande Railroads, serving the mineral-rich San Juan Mountain ranges in the south.

John Ashberger is one of those men who dreamed of a better life for his family. Moving out west, he looks to escape the war-torn confederate southern states and for better opportunity of frontier life to start over. John began to plant the seeds of a better and prosperous life for himself, as he slowly grows his empire in the agriculture sector of the west.

Meanwhile, Ute tribal leader Ignacio Black Hawk, whose family and tribe were violently forced from the lands John now owns, looks on the town of Montrose and the invaders now living there with nothing but sheer animosity. Meanwhile, James Hackenberry and Charles Sanderlin currently own Hackenberry and Sanderlin Real Estate in Baltimore, Maryland.

Through fraudulent corporate land grabbing, the two realtors hear about the government selling land cheap out in the western state of Colorado, around the small town of Montrose. The conflict and brutal violence that ensues when John, the realtors, and Ignacio clash with one another is the most grotesque any of the citizens living there have ever seen in their lives. All three men, envious to control the land, gain their wealth, and take what they feel rightfully belongs to them at the expense of all others.

By any means necessary….
