Question: Why did Borglum choose this particular site?
About the article "Mount Rushmore", section "Geology".

Candidate passages:
Borglum was busy between the passage of the bill and the end of May 1924, first working on the Children's Founders Roll medal, and then the half dollar.
The Children's Founders Roll was open to white children up to the age of 18 who contributed one dollar to the building of the monument.
Borglum must still have been fine-tuning the monument's design; Jackson's posture on the medal differs from that on the coin.
Unlike the issued coin, Borglum's models showed the front part of Davis's horse, although the Confederate president is unseen, and marching soldiers appear in the background.
Borglum met with Treasury Secretary Andrew Mellon who questioned first why "In God We Trust" appeared directly over Lee's head; Borglum responded that it was to pay tribute to the Confederates' faith.
Mellon then asked what the thirteen stars on the obverse represented; Borglum replied that those on the north side of the Mason-Dixon Line could consider them to represent the thirteen original colonies (those south of it, the implication was, could consider them to be a tribute to the Southern states).
Mellon laughed and gave preliminary approval.
On July 2, Mellon showed the designs to President Coolidge; they were then sent to the Commission of Fine Arts for its members' opinions.
According to numismatists William D. Hyder and R.W.
Colbert, "Borglum, to put it mildly, was a temperamental artist who managed to offend most everyone with whom he worked".
They note that "Borglum's past insolence had not left him in the good graces of the art community" and his designs met a hostile reception at the commission.
Sculptor member James Earle Fraser, designer of the Buffalo nickel, rejected Borglum's initial design on July 22, eight days after they were received.
The inscription on the reverse included a tribute to Harding; Fraser deemed it inartistic.
Borglum submitted a second set on August 14, this was again rejected; the commission criticized the design, which seemed to be only a segment of a larger one, rather than specifically designed to fit a half dollar.
Borglum wanted to ignore what he deemed "damn fool suggestions", but the Association threatened to fire him if he did not complete the coin.
Borglum was concerned the reverse was still too crowded, and proposed leaving off the eagle, but space was saved when Coolidge did not like the reference to Harding, and it was omitted.
With the eagle still in place on the reverse, Fraser finally approved the designs on October 10, 1924.
In all, Borglum made nine plaster models for the design.
Even though all necessary approvals had been received, the Philadelphia Mint refused to proceed with preparations because of the lack of the mention of Harding, which it believed was congressionally mandated.
Borglum wired Coolidge on October 31, notifying him of the problem; the President confirmed his approval of the design the following day.
Despite the support of the federal government for the coin, the Grand Army of the Republic (GAR), an organization of Union Civil War veterans, tried to prevent the issuance of a coin they believed honored treason by lobbying in late 1924 and early 1925.
Work on the sculpture slowed (the head of Jackson was then being carved) because of the sculptor being distracted by designing the coin, flaws in the rock on Stone Mountain, and the fact that the Association had ceased fundraising efforts in anticipation of a campaign to sell the coin.
Revenues from the medal were not sufficient to meet expenses.
The obverse of the half dollar depicts Confederate generals Lee and Jackson, the latter with head bare, mounted on horseback.
Although both Lee and Jackson were respected in the North, Davis would not have been acceptable on a federal coin, and he was omitted, although he appears on the Children's Founders Roll medal which Borglum adapted for the obverse of the half dollar.
There are thirteen stars in the upper field of the obverse; they represent the thirteen states which either joined the Confederacy or had Confederate factions.
Borglum's initials, "GB", are found on the extreme right of the piece, near the horses' tails.
The reverse depicts an eagle with wings stretched, representative of liberty, perched upon a mountaintop.
There are 35 stars in the field, supposedly to represent the number of states at the start of the Civil War, although there were in fact 34 in 1861, and there were 35 states only from 1863 to 1864, between the admissions of West Virginia and Nevada.
Art historian Cornelius Vermeule, writing in 1971, noted that the half dollar represents an unusual circumstance in American art, where a designer uses a coin as a "bozzetto" or small-scale model of a work to be completed.
Vermeule considered the children's medal a better work of art, due to the inclusion of Davis.
He believed that Borglum's original design, before its rejection by the Commission of Fine Arts, was superior, as it included a sense of motion through the depiction of marching soldiers in the background, balanced by the inclusion of the head of Davis's horse, though the rebel president himself is unseen.
According to Vermeule, the original design "would have made a magnificent coin, an unusual compression of monumentality and power into a limited and unorthodox historical space". 
"Why did you choose the title "Zion"?"
After high school, Noguchi explained his desire to become an artist to Rumely; though he preferred that Noguchi become a doctor, he acknowledged Noguchi's request and sent him to Connecticut to work as an apprentice to his friend Gutzon Borglum.
Best known as the creator of Mount Rushmore National Memorial, Borglum was at the time working on the group called "Wars of America" for the city of Newark, New Jersey, a piece that includes forty two figures and two equestrian sculptures.
As one of Borglum's apprentices, Noguchi received little training as a sculptor; his tasks included arranging the horses and modeling for the monument as General Sherman.
He did, however, pick up some skills in casting from Borglum's Italian assistants, later fashioning a bust of Abraham Lincoln.
At summer's end, Borglum told Noguchi that he would never become a sculptor, prompting him to reconsider Rumely's prior suggestion.
He then traveled to New York City, reuniting with the Rumely family at their new residence, and with Dr. Rumely's financial aid enrolled in February 1922 as a premedical student at Columbia University.
Soon after, he met the bacteriologist Hideyo Noguchi, who urged him to reconsider art, as well as the Japanese dancer Michio Itō, whose celebrity status later helped Noguchi find acquaintances in the art world.
Another influence was his mother, who in 1923 moved from Japan to California, then later to New York.
In 1924, while still enrolled at Columbia, Noguchi followed his mother's advice to take night classes at the Leonardo da Vinci Art School.
The school's head, Onorio Ruotolo, was immediately impressed by Noguchi's work.
Only three months later, Noguchi held his first exhibit, a selection of plaster and terra cotta works.
He soon dropped out of Columbia University to pursue sculpture full-time, changing his name from Gilmour (the surname he had used for years) to Noguchi.
After moving into his own studio, Noguchi found work through commissions for portrait busts, he won the Logan Medal of the arts.
During this time, he frequented "avant garde" shows at the galleries of such modernists as Alfred Stieglitz and J.
B. Neuman, and took a particular interest in a show of the works of Romanian sculptor Constantin Brâncuși.
In late 1926, Noguchi applied for a Guggenheim Fellowship.
In his letter of application, he proposed to study stone and wood cutting and to gain "a better understanding of the human figure" in Paris for a year, then spend another year traveling through Asia, exhibit his work, and return to New York.
He was awarded the grant despite being three years short of the age requirement.
