Who carved the four presidents faces on Mount Rushmore?

Question

And how in the world did they do it?!?!

Answer 1

I was wondering that as I watched 'North by Northwest' on TV yesterday and saw Cary Grant climbing all over them - made my palms sweat as I HATE heights. You saved me having to ask the question!

Answer 2

John) Gutzon de la Mothe Borglum (March 25, 1867 – March 6, 1941) was an American sculptor famous for creating the monumental presidents' heads at Mount Rushmore, South Dakota, as well as dozens of other impressive public works of art.

Answer 3

Sculptor Gutzon Borglum began drilling into the 5,725-foot mountain in 1927. Creation of the Shrine of Democracy took 14 years and cost a mere $1 million

Answer 4

Gutzon Borglum was the designer (of course he didn't actually do all the carving, which took a lot more manpower than just one guy). If I remember correctly, his son actually oversaw the completion of the project because Gutzon Borglum died before it was done.

Answer 5

General Zod and his co-horts:

"Meanwhile, the three Kryptonian criminals having devastated a joint NASA-Soviet Moon expedition, killing three moonwalkers before flying to Earth, which they believe to be a planet called "Houston", having overheard radio transmissions between the moon mission and mission control in Houston, Texas. They wreak havoc on the small town of East Houston, Idaho, easily defeat a U.S. military's response, deface Mount Rushmore and arrive in Washington DC to attack the White House. General Zod demands the surrender of the President of the United States and eventually the entire world."
