They depict the faces of U.S. Presidents George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln and Theodore Roosevelt, who were chosen to represent the nation's birth, growth, development and preservation. Work on the project began in 1927 and was completed in 1941 under the guidance of the sculptor Gutzon Borglum. Some 450,000 tons of rock was removed to carve the enormous heads, each of which measures 60 feet in height. A small repository box is placed in a tunnel of the incomplete Hall of Records behind the sculptures; it contains 16 porcelain enamel panels telling the background and history of the monument. Mount Rushmore National Memorial, known as the \"Shrine of Democracy,\" has become an iconic image of the US. As an international tourist attraction, it receives upwards of two million visitors every year.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-11976414\"\u003eIn60learning\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/04\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 42\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.17lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 5.98w x 0.10d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781697676518\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1697676510\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-HIS\"\u003eHistory\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-HIS036000\"\u003eUnited States | General\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Independently Published","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44575971770605,"sku":"9781697676518","price":11.23,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/8097\/6621\/products\/img_943f7a61-5893-446a-ad5e-18340510d5f2.jpg?v=1702004306","url":"https:\/\/sureshotbooks.com\/products\/mt-rushmore-history-cast-in-stone-9781697676518","provider":"SureShot Books Publishing LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
