Gutzon Borglum and four hundred other talented people Carved Mount Rushmore They began in 1927 and finished fourteen years later During the second World War. This Presidential Memorial is truly a great work of art It has touched millions of people's hearts... They carved the heads of Washington, Jefferson, Roosevelt and Lincoln too Carving these sculptures was a brilliant thing to do. They chose to carve four of our best presidents It makes me proud to be an American when I look at this monument.
