[Jeff Netting · Rating 4 out of 5]

I thought this was a very enjoyable, brief book. In spite of its length, it felt thorough, covering aspects of geology, American and Native American history, the logistics of carving the mountain, the politics involved, and the life of the sculptor, Gutzon Borglum. All in all, enjoyable and succinct.
