Mount Rushmore

High on a granite cliff in South Dakota's Black Hills tower the huge, carved faces of four American presidents, together constituting the the world's largest sculpture. The story of Mount Rushmore's creation is as bizarre and wonderful as the monument itself. It is the tale of a temperamental artist whose determination propelled the project.
