Mount Rushmore National Monument is located in South Dakota’s Black Hills. The sculptured figures of George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt, and Abraham Lincoln stand watch.
Abraham Lincoln (1861-1865)
Behind the cloud the sun is still shining.
Theodore Roosevelt (1901-1909)
This country will not be a good place for any of us to live unless we make it a good place for all of us to live in.
Great words from these special presidents.

Me too, Richard! I went there again in 2018. I just love the whole area. I enjoyed the Crazy Horse Memorial and made sure I drove to Little Bighorn National
Battlefield in Montana when coming home. I saw too much too count, but my favorite road trip for sure!

I have been to the Little Bighorn Battlefield a few times. The site does a much better job today of offering the viewpoint of the Native Americans than was the case many years ago. In addition, the battlefield used to be called Custer Battlefield.

Lincoln’s quote is so powerful considering what darkness was faced during his administration

When one reads about Lincoln’s time as President, you begin to appreciate the full weight of that darkness.
