Every single country in the world has their own national monuments, memorials and sites which the people and the culture hold in high regard. The United States of America, being the large and powerful nation that it is today, is of course, no different. Whether it be the Washington Monument, the Statue of Liberty or the White House, the US has no shortage of national symbols. However, one particular monument that is truly iconic and absolutely stunning from an artistic point of view is Mount Rushmore, a massive collection of 60-foot-tall sculptures carved into the Southeastern side of South Dakota Black Hills Mountains featuring the likeness of four of this countrys most influential presidents throughout our history. This site is one of the most visited tourist attractions in the US and has been an important emblem of American history and culture ever since its completion. But what is the history behind the construction of Mount Rushmore and more curiously, why were these four presidents, and only these ones, chosen to be recreated into granite?
