All The Details Behind Mr. Rushmore

A simply fantastic book. This book describes the political, financial and personal backgrounds of the people involved in desiging and building this most famous of monuments. Complete details are given on the technical processes used to carve the mountain as well as the personalities of the people responsible for the project. The book does not only focus on Gutzon Borglum, the sculptor; but also goes into detail about the politicians (both local and national) who had input into the monument. Terrific pictures accompany the text.
