From the planning which began in 1923, to the completion of construction in 1941, this monument is one of our nation s greatest achievements. Read about the visionaries, such as Doane Robsinon, and sculptor Gutzon Borglum, who made what would seem an impossible task become a reality! This book will allow students to cite the textual evidence that most strongly supports an analysis of what the text says explicitly as well as inferences drawn from the text.,
