Description
Mount Rushmore, one of America's most iconic landmarks, was once considered a wacky idea. Gutzon Borglum, a renowned sculptor, envisioned carving sixty-foot-high likenesses of four U.S. presidents into a granite cliff in South Dakota.
The project faced numerous challenges and opposition during the Great Depression, when funding for such ambitious projects was scarce. Yet, despite these obstacles, Mount Rushmore has become a beloved national treasure, attracting almost three million visitors each year.
This book tells the story of Borglum's magnificent obsession, which continues to spark controversy to this day. It's an entertaining chronicle of one man's perseverance and determination to bring his vision to life.
