Book Synopsis Where Is Mount Rushmore? by : True Kelley
Download or read book Where Is Mount Rushmore? written by True Kelley and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2015-02-05 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It was world-famous sculptor Gutzon Borglum's dream to carve sixty-foot-high likenesses of four presidents on a granite cliff in South Dakota. Does that sound like a wacky idea? Many at the time thought so. Borglum faced a lot of opposition and problems at every turn; the blasting and carving carried out through the years of the Great Depression when funding for anything was hard to come by. Yet Mount Rushmore now draws almost three million visitors to the Black Hills every year. This is an entertaining chronicle of one man's magnificent obsession, which even today sparks controversy.
Book Synopsis America's Engineering Marvels by : Carol M. Highsmith
Download or read book America's Engineering Marvels written by Carol M. Highsmith and published by Crescent. This book was released on 2004-01-06 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Renowned photographer Carol M. Highsmith and writer Ted Landphair take a fresh look at some of the most remarkable structures ever built in America. Many of the sights included, such as Hoover Dam, were built to serve a critical function; for others, like the St. Louis Arch or Mount Rushmore, the function was purely aesthetic or commemorative. But all are notable for their scale and the technological genius that went into constructing them. Travel-pictorial wizards Highsmith and Landphair turn themselves here to the wonder of industrial America. The "can-do" American spirit resonates behind every one of the sights included. A tribute to some of the most enterprising, ingenious, and visionary minds of the last century, this volume also reminds us of the lives lost and risks taken to get the job done. The fantastic oversize full-color photos of marvels like the Washington Monument, Brooklyn Bridge, and the 7.7-mile long Flathead Tunnel in Montana--the world's seventh longest railroad tunnel--are an unforgettable chronicle of American engineering at its best.
