History of Mount Rushmore and Presidential Sculptures
The name of Mount Rushmore pays homage to Charles Rushmore, a New York lawyer. Originally, Jefferson was meant to be positioned to the right of Washington, but due to stone constraints, it was changed. The presidents' stone eyes are approximately three feet in diameter. Borglum intended to depict the presidents at full height and had a personal relationship with Theodore Roosevelt.

Presentation Transcript
Mountain got its name in honor of the New York lawyer Charles Rushmore. The image of Jefferson was originally expected to the right of Washington, but it turned out that there was unsuitable stone for these sculptures, and it had to be moved to the other location. The size of the stone eyes of presidents are about three feet (about 1 m) in diameter. Originally Borglum planned to create the images of presidents in a full growth. Borglum was personally acquainted with president Theodore Roosevelt.
