How Rockefeller secretly bought 35,000 acres in Wyoming to create a national park
In 1927, John D. Rockefeller Jr. began discreetly purchasing large tracts of land in Wyoming's Jackson Hole region. He used a front company called the Snake River Land Company to conceal his identity during the acquisitions.
