I like to read about the history of Yellowstone National Park. Here's a clip I found a couple weeks ago at Once-famous Yellowstone trail no longer maintained:
Eaton was a multifaceted man who had a wide range of experiences. He is credited by some with creating the first dude ranch with his brothers in what is now North Dakota in 1882. There he met Theodore Roosevelt, who became a lifelong friend. Eventually, he pulled up stakes and moved his family’s ranch to Wyoming, where it still exists. In his later years, Eaton was named to a special commission to save bison.

One year after his death in the spring of 1922, the 157-mile-long trail that circles the center of Yellowstone National Park was dedicated in his memory, along with the biographical plaque honoring him.
I also recommend reading more about the place names of Yellowstone National Park. I'm not sure if the book below is the same as the one I have, which has a different color but the same name:
