In this celebration of a truly remarkable artistic achievement, the text is succinct but thorough, presenting information about the site, the choice of the four presidents to be immortalized, clear explanations of the engineering principles and artistic decisions involved, and biographical information about the sculptor, Gutzon Borglum. The illustrations are an exultant view into the nature of art and, yes, patriotism. Bib.
