Gutzon Borglum
Gutzon Borglum was an American sculptor best known for creating the iconic Mount Rushmore National Memorial, which features the carved faces of four U.S. presidents: George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt, and Abraham Lincoln. Born on March 6, 1867, in St. Charles, Idaho, Borglum was inspired by the idea of memorializing the nation's history through monumental art. His vision for Mount Rushmore began in 1927, and he oversaw the project until his death in 1941, leaving behind a lasting legacy that continues to attract millions of visitors each year. Borglum's work has been both celebrated and critiqued, reflecting the complexities of American history and identity.
