| Great works of art
often overshadow the artist or his supporters. The likenesses of
George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt, and Abraham
Lincoln carved in the southeast face of Mount Rushmore in the Black
Hills of South Dakota are nationally, if not internationally, renowned.
How those faces got there is not often known to the general public.
The purpose of this film is to examine the role of the individuals
who made possible the sculptures on Mount Rushmore. |
