Mount Rushmore, The Story Behind the Scenery

Mount Rushmore, The Story Behind the Scenery documents the sculpting of this famous American monument in the words of Lincoln Borglum, son of sculptor Gutzon Borgluma. Lincoln, who also directed day to day operations on the carving of what has been called a "shrine" of democracy, has authored what is a tribute to his artist father as well as his creation.

The astounding monument on Mount Rushmore says it all: There on the mountain the sculptor has spoken eloquently with his art, an eloquence that says simply, "This is what it means to be an American."
