Five years into designing Mount Rushmore, lead sculptor Gutzon Borglum realized that without a world-class stone carver by his side, the memorial's reputation was in serious jeopardy — after all, how could Americans be inspired by the country's largest sculpture if their presidents' faces were botched or unrecognizable? This is the story of an obscure Italian immigrant with a gift for stone carving who not only saved the monumental project, but made it one of the world's finest — a story which would have been forever omitted from the history books if it were not for his family's 25-year fight to get him the recognition he deserved.
