More Details

Summary:

"The 19th century ushered the rolling hills and plains of Oklahoma into a time of great transition. The fertile, spacious lands of what was then deemed Indian Territory were well suited for agriculture, particularly raising cattle. Many First American tribes, including the Chickasaw, had been uprooted from their Homeland and forced to relocate to Indian Territory. The tribes saw ranching as an opportunity to remain self-reliant. However, the Civil War all but decimated ranching operation in the region. Chickasaw cattleman Montford Johnson, self-made and determined, faced the hardships of the time head-on, eventually establishing a vast ranching empire within the state. The ranches he established ran along the famed Chisholm Trail and included parts of modern-day Oklahoma City. Never out of touch with his innate grit and integrity, Johnson faced tragedy and hardship, including run-ins with bandits and Land Run settlers. Inspired by a true story, Montford Johnson: An Original Brand follows Johnson, his family and their associates as they build their cattle operations from the ground up. Chickasaw Nation Productions strives to share the important role that Chickasaw people have played in shaping American history and culture. Montford Johnson: An Original Brand offers a unique perspective into the life of one of Oklahoma's great cattleman, known across the region as a fair and successful businessman and whose influence impacts the industry today"--IMDB.com.
