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).
âMount Rushmoreâs first chief carver was Hugo Villa, who originally carved Jeffersonâs face to the right of George Washingtonâs,â says Gladstone. âPeople asked if it was Martha Washington. So Villa was fired, and Borglum hired De Bianco, whoâd carved the Americaâs wars monument for him.
