I was pleased to see the workers, the stone cutters, were honored at the monument. These are the men and women that risked their lives every day.
Most of the people who carved Mount Rushmore were locals. Over the 14 years of the carving, almost 400 workers had touched the monument.
A typical day began at 7:30 AM. But, before they could start, they had to climb over 700 steps, to the top of the mountain. From the top, they were lowered over the side in swing seats while carrying heavy drilling tools and blasting equipment.
