The Crazies: Author Amy Gamerman on Land, Legacy, and the Modern Range War

1:08:39 - 06/26/2025

On this episode of the Land Investor podcast, acclaimed journalist and author Amy Gamerman joins Matt and Ryan to discuss her gripping new book, The Crazies: The Cattleman, the Wind Prospectors, and a War Out West, named one of Amazon's Best Nonfiction Books of 2025 So Far. Set in Montana's iconic Crazy Mountains, this true story chronicles a high-stakes modern land conflict where billionaire landowners, fifth-generation ranchers, and Native activists clash over wind energy, conservation, and land rights. Amy shares what drew her from the pages of The Wall Street Journal into this five-year investigation and reflects on what this deeply human dispute reveals about ownership, identity, and the enduring pull of the American West.
