Summary

"Mount Rushmore, a massive granite carving of four US presidents, is among the most famous landmarks in the United States. Engineering Mount Rushmore introduces readers to its designer, Gutzon Borglum, shows how workers turned a mountain into a monument, and explores how the US government protects the carving today. Easy-to-read text, vivid images, and helpful back matter give readers a clear look at this subject. Features include a table of contents, infographics, a glossary, additional resources, and an index. Aligned to Common Core Standards and correlated to state standards."--Publisher's website
