It was world-famous sculptor Gutzon Borglum's dream to carve
sixty-foot-high likenesses of four presidents on a granite cliff in
South Dakota. Does that sound like a wacky idea? Many at the time
thought so. Borglum faced a lot of opposition and problems at every
turn; the blasting and carving carried out through the years of the
Great Depression when funding for anything was hard to come by. Yet
Mount Rushmore now draws almost three million visitors to the Black
Hills every year. This is an entertaining chronicle of one man's
magnificent obsession, which even today sparks controversy.
