Mount Rushmore

Mount Rushmore

Carved into Mount Rushmore in the Black Hills of South Dakota, this American symbol was originally created to encourage people to visit the state. From the planning which began in 1923, to the completion of construction in 1941, this monument is one of our nation’s greatest achievements. Read about the visionaries, such as Doane Robsinon, and sculptor Gutzon Borglum, who made what would seem an impossible task become a reality! This book will allow students to cite the textual evidence that most strongly supports an analysis of what the text says explicitly as well as inferences drawn from the text.
