Who Carved the
Mountain? Who Carved the Mountain? The Story of Mount Rushmore is the story of the hard-working heroes who combined their talents to create Mount Rushmore. With historical facts and rollicking rhythm, this picture book reveals how the mountain was carved and why George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, and Theodore Roosevelt were chosen. The book begins with Doane Robinson, who wants to carve western heroes. He is followed by Gutzon Borglum, who explains why he wanted to carve four presidents. After the workers and the presidents tell their stories, readers discover how they also are a part of Mount Rushmore's story. South Dakota Prairie Pasque
