or in pictures. It's an impressive American
icon commemorating our greatest presidents.
It's Mount Rushmore that commemorates the lives of Abraham Lincoln,
George Washington, Teddy Roosevelt and Thomas Jefferson with carved stone faces.But how did it come about? Why those particular presidents and why was it carved out of a solid mountain cliff in the Black Hills of South Dakota?
Mill Creek Entertainment presents: Monument Men The Road To Rushmore, a seven-part DVD series that looks at the men behind this national monument.
The series follows the history behind the stone as each president's life and contributions to our nation is explained and documented.
The series also examines the men and creativity behind Mount Rushmore and how it came about. History comes alive as viewers watch both the monument and our history come alive. Included is a visit to the nearby Crazy Horse Memorial shown through a virtual tour just like Mount Rushmore.
