sculptor. He set up u studio -it
the old Stale Fair kioundu an J
moulded a new model which iie
declared would be used for com
pletinK the heroic Confederate
memorial on the ("Jen r*la moun
tain.
Then Augustus I.ukenun was
named his successor and Horglum
packed up Ills models and depart
ed for the West. He said when
he left that he had several im
portant commissions, one for a
Turkish organisation, but that he |
wished to carve a. memorial in the!
aide of a mountain.
Ha w**nt to South Dakota and j
found a site on th*? Kushmon
Mountains near Deadwood which ,
he said would be ideal for carving
busts in heroic siae of four presi
dents: Washington. Jefferson. Lin
coln and Roosevelt.
Preliminary plans went forward
rapidly and rosy reports of the
progress of the memorial were
spnt out. Then came the question
of raising the hall million dollars
needed for the work. Progress
slowed down and Ik now at a
standstill pending new financial
arrangements.
