High in the Black Hills of South Dakota, four giant faces stare out from the side of a mountain. How did they get there? Why were they carved? And what secrets are hidden within the stone?
This book takes kids on an exciting journey through the history of one of America's most famous monuments. From the bold idea that started it all to the massive explosions that shaped the granite, readers will discover the people, tools, and challenges behind this incredible achievement. Along the way, they'll meet the workers who dangled from ropes hundreds of feet in the air, learn about the hidden chamber buried behind Lincoln's head, and uncover surprising facts about what the monument was supposed to look like.
But the story doesn't stop there. While millions visit this landmark each year, not everyone sees it the same way. For the Lakota Sioux, the Black Hills are sacred land, and the carving of the mountain remains a source of controversy. This book dives into different perspectives, helping young readers understand both the monument's history and its meaning today.
Packed with fascinating details, this is the perfect read for kids who love history, adventure, and stories of people who dared to dream big-carving their vision into stone for the world to see.
