Candy's October Staff Pick


The Carving of Mount Rushmore
Written by Rex Alan Smith
NB 237 .B6 A68 1985

Written with humor, perception and energy, Rex Alan Smith has put together a complete story of how Mount Rushmore came to be.

In some ways, it reads out as an unofficial biography of Gutzon Borglum, the sculptor who led a life as big and as large as the faces he carved out of “the chosen stone”.

Loaded with pictures, written in close detail, it is an impressive story.
