"Mount Rushmore is dedicated to four of the greatest early American presidents. The heads of George Washington (1732-99), Thomas Jefferson (1743-1826), Abraham Lincoln (1809-65), and Theodore Roosevelt (1858-1919), carved into the granite hillside, now gaze across the beautiful South Dakota Black Hills. A local historian, Done Robinson, first had the idea for the monument primarily to boost tourism in the area. It was a plan that paid off, with more than two million people now traveling to see the historic monument. Congressional approval was granted and the sculptor, Gutzon Borglum, began to research a suitable location. He settled on Mount Rushmore largely because of the impressive height of the mountain and the good quality of its granite. Work began in 1927, with around 400 sculptors, and continued until 1941, when Borglum unexpectedly died. By this time the four heads had been completed and the funds had all but dried up; the work was stopped, despite Borglum's original idea to represent the four presidents from the waist up. The choice of Mount Rushmore was a controversial one. The mountain, known as Six Grandfathers by the Lakota Indians, was a sacred place for them. The United States requisitioned the land, allegedly reneging on the Treaty of Fort Laramie, 1868, and many Native Americans saw this and the subsequent carving of the mountain into a monument to American presidents as outrageous. It is not by coincidence that the mammoth mountainside carving of the Crazy Horse Memorial is near Mount Rushmore, and on its completion will dwarf Borglum's work."

"The endpoint for our trip to South Dakota. Stunningly overwhelming and a testament to American history. I would incorporate this on a trip to more of the black hills themselves if I were to go back."

"Lieu de tournage de « La mort aux trousses » d'Alfred Hitchcock sorti en 1959. En réalité, le film n'a pas été tourné sur place. Le mont Rushmore et ses visages sculptés ont été reconstitué en studio. Un post est disponible sur le compte @cinegenik! "
