For those of you who haven't made it to Mt. Rushmore yet, here are some photos of "the guys" close-up and why Gutzon Borglum decided each should be on Mt. Rushmore~ enjoy!!
George Washington, being our first president
represents the BIRTH of our country.
Thomas Jefferson symbolizes the EXPANSION of the nation,
he is credited with Louisiana Purchase in 1803.
Theodore Roosevelt represents the DEVELOPMENT of our country.
He promoted construction of the Panama Canal.
Lincoln embodies the PRESERVATION of the nation in
confronting the challenges of the Civil War.
Easy and affordable - no matter where you are!
