The "George" mentioned in the history section is George Beard, famous Utah painter, explorer and photographer. Another historical account states that the name Grandaddy was coined when George was with John H. Salmon.
Lake George Beard (southeast of South King's Peak) is named after George.
Mt. Lovenia is named after George's wife, Lovenia.

The Ouachita MountainsHey there,
The Ouachita Mountains in Arkansas & Oklahoma also run east-west. They are not as grand/major as the Uintas, but are oriented the same none-the-less.
Safe climbing!
