Photos that my grandparents took in 1932 & 1934 of Mt. Rushmore being carved. In 1932, they had started Jefferson's face to the left (as we look at it) of Washington's. However, they ran into a problem in the rock, and by 1934 they had removed Jefferson from the left and started carving his likeness to the right of Washington. I think these old photos are fabulous. Not many people even realize that such a major change in design is part of the history of this National Monument.
Thanks for spreading positivity!
