Facts Sculptor Gutzon Borglum began drilling into the
6,200-foot Mount Rushmore in 1927. Creation of the Shrine to Democracy took
14 years and cost a mere $1 million, though it's now deemed priceless. The
faces of George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt, and
Abraham Lincoln are sculpted into Mount Rushmore the world's greatest
mountain carving. Fossilized remains of life 50 million years ago have been
arranged in unusual forms, which is Lemmon's mark of distinction at the
world's largest petrified wood park. Perhaps the most significant fur
trade/military fort on the western American frontier, Fort Pierre Chouteau
was the largest (almost 300' square) and best equipped trading post in the
northern Great Plains. Built in 1832 by John Jacob Astor's (1763-1848)
American Fur Company as part of its expansion into the Upper Missouri
region, the trading activities at the site exemplified the commercial
alliance critical to the success of the fur business. Jack McCall was tried,
convicted and hanged two miles north of Yankton in 1877 for the shooting of
Wild Bill Hickok. He is buried in an unmarked grave in the Yankton
cemetery.,
