Hanging Off Jefferson's Nose: Growing Up on Mount Rushmore

32 pp. | Dial | May, 2012 | Trade ISBN 978-0-8037-3731-0 $16.99
(4) 4-6 Illustrated by Sally Wern Comport. Lincoln Borglum was young when his father Gutzon was commissioned to carve Mount Rushmore. Lincoln learned much from his father, and his hard work and skills earned him the honor of finishing the project after Gutzon's death. Interesting details combine with bold acrylic and pastel illustrations to add perspective and significance to this little-known historic figure. Limited follow-up resources weaken the volume. Bib.
