Teapot Dome scandal remembered amid ranch life in Wyoming
In rural Wyoming, three generations of ranchers recall Teapot Dome's legacy as a symbol of political corruption. A California man received two years probation in a kickback case tied to oil royalties, while rancher John Beaton protects heritage on Teapot Rock. Experts say the field is near depleting, with production likely to stop in 30 to 35 years.
