Sculpted by Gutzon Borglum and his son, Lincoln Borglum, Mount Rushmore features 60-foot (18 m) sculptures of the heads of four United States presidents: George Washington (1732â1799), Thomas Jefferson (1743â1826), Theodore Roosevelt (1858â1919), and Abraham Lincoln (1809â1865).
Borglum said upon seeing Mount Rushmore, America will march along that skyline.. Congress authorized the Mount Rushmore National Memorial Commission on March 3, 1925. President Coolidge insisted that, along with Washington, two Republicans and one Democrat be portrayed.
