The cornerstone Roosevelt laid at Yellowstone's north entrance in Gardiner, Montana, carries its purpose in stone: *For the Benefit and Enjoyment of the People.* Built in 1903 from native columnar basalt hauled from a local quarry, the arch was named for the president not by plan but by circumstance — he happened to be in the park during construction and was asked to speak at the dedication.
