MOUNT RUSHMORE
In 1923, a man named Doane Robinson had an idea. He wanted to have a large sculpture made in the Mount Rushmore. As he lived in the South Dakota and was interested in his state’s history, he thought the sculpture should show heroes of the West, like Lewis and Clark or Indian chiefs. Robinson found Gutzon Borglum, an artist to make the sculpture. But Borglum had a different idea for the sculpture. He thought the sculpture should have American presidents and symbolize American idea of freedom.
First the artist designed a small model of the sculpture. Then in 1927, he began to work on the mountain. Over 400 men assisted him. They built stairs to the top of the rock cliff, destroyed the rock with dynamite and carved it. On October 31, 1941, the sculpture was done. But Gutzon Borglum never saw the finished sculpture. He died less than a year before it was done. His son helped finish the job. The sculpture has the faces of four presidents on it. The presidents are George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt, and Abraham Lincoln. Gutzon Borglum would be proud to know that Mount Rushmore is now a national memorial.
