Summary

"Carved into Mount Rushmore in the Black Hills of South Dakota, this American symbol was originally created to encourage people to visit the state. From the planning, which began in 1923, to the completion of construction in 1941, this monument is one of our nation's greatest achievements. Read about the visionaries, such as Doane Robinson, and sculptor Gutzon Borglum, who made what would seem an impossible task become a reality!"--Back cover
