[h=2]Does Yellowstone Mention Elsa Dutton? Explained[/h]Elsa Dutton isn’t mentioned in Yellowstone by John Dutton or any of the other members of the Dutton clan, but her influence is still felt as the name Yellowstone is about her.
In the 1883 prequel show, when Elsa is dying, she goes with her father to find a resting place, and they settle in a beautiful land that will become Yellowstone, the family’s home and legacy for a hundred and fifty years. Why? Because the Yellowstone ranch is set around Elsa’s grave. Her husband Sam calls her “Lightning with the YELLOW hairâ€￾ and that stone is where she dies. The ranch’s name is an homage to her, as she’s buried in the place where there’s the “Lightning with the yellow hair” stone. Through time, that name is shortened to Yellowstone.
That might not be her only influence in the family, as Beth Dutton (Kelly Reilly) shares some of the same personality traits as her great-great-aunt Elsa: both are fierce, curious, unique, and do what they think is best for the family.
