have you been to Mount Rushmore? Sixty-foot-tall faces of George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt and Abraham Lincoln are carved in to Mount Rushmore’s stone hills. When sculptor Gutzon Borglum first saw Mount Rushmore, he said “America will march along that skyline.” Borglum began work in 1927, but he died before the work was finished. The work was completed by his son, Lincoln, on October 31, 1941.
