From Jackson's journal...
Today we went to Mt. Rushmore and saw Washington, Jefferson, Roosevelt, and Lincoln's faces carved in the rock. It took 14 years to make the faces! After that, we went to a place where they are building a mountain-big sculpture called Crazy Horse. It was huge! What an exciting day.
The Crazy Horse Memorial was most impressive. It is a private, non-profit endeavor and is the largest stone sculpture in the world. It was commissioned by the local Lakota Souix tribes and was started in 1948 by a non-sculptor named Korczak. He worked up until his death in 1982 and his wife and 7 of his 10 children continue to oversee the project.
