A tourist attraction is an interesting&nbsp; place where people can go to take pictures and have fun.&nbsp; Gutzon studies the mountain up close.&nbsp; Uh-oh.&nbsp; This does not look good.&nbsp; The rocks are loose and chip away easily.&nbsp; This mountain will not be a good mountain to carve.&nbsp; But he has a better idea:&nbsp; why not carve the faces of some of America\u2019s best presidents into a mountain?&nbsp; That would be even more patriotic \u2013 meaning lots of Americans would feel very proud of it.&nbsp; Everyone agrees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gutzon travels around the valleys and mountains on horseback looking for the perfect mountain to carve.&nbsp; The rock has to be just right.&nbsp; It has to be very strong so that it will last for years in good and bad weather, including fierce storms and lightning strikes.&nbsp; He certainly doesn\u2019t want the faces sliding off the side of the mountain!&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gutzon creates drawings; he decides to carve three president\u2019s faces into the mountain:&nbsp; Presidents Washington, Lincoln, and Jefferson.&nbsp; But when Gutzon visits the White House in Washington, DC, one day and talks to President Coolidge.&nbsp; They agree to add President Roosevelt to the mountain as well!&nbsp; Gutzon actually knows President Roosevelt and really likes him.&nbsp; Wow, this is going to be a lot of work to add another face.&nbsp; Can you imagine carving three gigantic faces into a mountain, much less four?!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gutzon draws lots of sketches and makes miniature models in clay and stone.&nbsp; Finally, the day arrives to start carving the mountain!&nbsp; A big party is held in the valley on August 10, 1927.&nbsp; President Coolidge comes to the party and makes a nice speech.&nbsp; The Lakota Indians dance to the beat of drums, their feather headdresses swaying in the breeze.&nbsp; Gutzon\u2019s son, Lincoln, watches as his dad edges over the top of the mountain in a harness attached to ropes while holding a large drill.&nbsp; His dad starts drilling into the rock and everyone cheers. &nbsp; Lincoln is a little scared watching his father so high up on the mountain \u2013 but also proud.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gutzon hires lots of local workmen \u2013 carpenters, and lumbermen, and stone cutters &#8211; to help him.&nbsp; They build over 500 wooden steps up the side of the mountain to carry supplies to the top.&nbsp; They build houses and workshops in the valley, and a small village on top of the mountain.&nbsp; The mountain-top village makes it quicker to get to the work site than climbing up all those steps from the valley.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They also build a shed to store DYNAMITE! &nbsp; Yes, they need lots of dynamite to blast away parts of the mountain.&nbsp; Lincoln loves hearing those loud booms bounce back and forth across the valley like a big echo chamber.&nbsp; Boom, boom, boom!&nbsp; They are so loud they even rattle the windows in town!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gutzon tells Lincoln he is going to carve a secret room INSIDE the mountain, behind the heads of the presidents, to store important papers\u2026it will be a secret hiding place!&nbsp; Lincoln can\u2019t WAIT to sneak around that room.&nbsp; Maybe he can peek out of Lincoln\u2019s eye or Washington\u2019s nose!&nbsp; Working with his dad is an adventure everyday!&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The carving takes a very long time; years of carving and drilling and blowing up bits of the mountain.&nbsp; But the faces start to show \u2013 like giants poking their faces out of a huge sand box!&nbsp; As the years pass, Lincoln learns many skills by watching his dad and the workers.&nbsp; They show him how to transfer measurements from tiny clay models to the side of the mountain.&nbsp; He learns how to make the carved faces shiny and smooth.&nbsp; He even learns how to use dynamite to blast away the rock to make an eye, a nose, or even a pair of glasses.&nbsp; They dynamite the mountain two times a day \u2013 that\u2019s a lot of explosions!&nbsp; The poor folks in the valley \u2013 it must have driven them crazy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But, one day they realize there\u2019s a BIG problem!&nbsp; After a year and a half of working on the mountain, Gutzon and Lincoln discover that the rock around Jefferson\u2019s face is bad.&nbsp; It is not a good section of the mountain.&nbsp; What are they going to do? &nbsp; They know they have to start all over again in another spot.&nbsp; They are very sad. But they can\u2019t leave the half-finished face peering out of the mountain, so using dynamize they blow it off!&nbsp; All that work \u2013 gone!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The men continue to work through rain, and snow, and lightning strikes.&nbsp; One day Lincoln even has to swing on ropes under one president\u2019s 20-foot nose to avoid being hit by lightning.&nbsp; Who knew a nose could be so handy?!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The winters are hard and long.Gutzon and Lincoln give a herd of buffalo to the members of the Lakota tribe so they have something to eat.&nbsp; The Lakotas are so happy that they dance all night and make Gutzon and Lincoln blood brothers of the tribe!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The work continues until 1941 when Gutzon goes to the hospital for a minor operation.&nbsp; There are complications and he passes away suddenly.&nbsp; Lincoln is very sad.&nbsp; He never got to say goodbye to his father and he thinks his father\u2019s dreams will go&nbsp; with him.&nbsp; But instead, Lincoln is named head sculptor by the crew and becomes the boss of his father\u2019s project at only 29 years old.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lincoln knows that money and time are running out.&nbsp; He decides he cannot make the secret room behind the presidents\u2019 faces.&nbsp; He\u2019ll never get to complete his childhood dream of staring out a president\u2019s eye \u2013 or nose! Oh well, sometimes you have to give up some things to get the job done!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the year&nbsp; 1941 on Halloween, the work is <em>finally<\/em> finished and the four presidents\u2019 faces shine brightly from the side of the mountain.&nbsp; Lincoln and the workmen are so happy and proud!&nbsp; They place a wreath at the foot of Mount Rushmore to honor Gutzon, who never lived long enough to see his famous project come to completion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After 14 years of hard work by Gutzon, his son, and 400 workmen, Mount Rushmore shines brightly across the Black Hills of South Dakota for all to see \u2013 and is still shining there today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What do you think about this work by Gutzon and Lincoln?&nbsp; Would you like to see Mount Rushmore some day?&nbsp; I know I would. If you could carve a president\u2019s face into the side of a mountain, who would you pick? &nbsp; What are some lessons we can learn from Gutzon and Lincoln?&nbsp; They taught me&nbsp; that to do a job right, it takes a lot of hard work, time, and commitment.&nbsp; And often things will go wrong and you may have to find a different way of doing things.&nbsp; But if you are brave, study hard, and learn a skill, you can succeed in life and accomplish amazing things.&nbsp; Have you thought about what you might like to do someday?&nbsp; There are some pretty interesting jobs out there. The boy Lincoln\u2019s was to swing off a president\u2019s nose! Life becomes even more interesting when you dream big!&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Close your eyes and imagine you\u2019re soaring over winding rivers and swaying wheat fields.
