Mount Rushmore

I looked up at the mountain, the result - I was in awe! George, Teddy, Tom, and Abe, were the faces, that I saw! Faces carved in granite. Fourteen years, to get it done! Over 400 people did the stonework, completed - October 1941! Why these four were chosen, may have been a mystery? It's because they represent, the first 130 years, of Americas history! George, was Father of our Country. Democracy was his quest! He attained freedom from Great Britain, and his history tells the rest! Thomas, was president number three. His most important deed, of note, was the Declaration of Independence, a document, which he wrote. Abe, held our nation together, during the Civil War! He was able to preserve the union, hence, he's one of the chosen four! Teddy, was an advocate of many great causes! Panama Canal trust buster, and rights of the common man! He led us into the 20th century, and helped foster Americas, economic plan! An iconic symbol of Presidential greatness, high in Dakotas Black Hills! If you're any kind of a history buff, it'll be one of your greatest thrills! This beautiful National Memorial, is Mount Rushmore, South Dakota! When you see these four granite faces, you won't regret, one iota!
