Kelly was well educated and very well read, and apparently was prone to quoting Shakespeare when the mood took him. He was famous during his life and known to President Theodore Roosevelt, and other famous people of the day, including Buffalo Bill Cody. When Cody was finally successful in getting the Yellowstone River valley declared America’s first National Park, in 1876, Yellowstone Kelly was the man chosen to be the first Park Ranger.
