Mount Rushmore
Robinson was considered the "Father of Mount Rushmore." John Boland raised and kept track of funding for Mount Rushmore. Boland was introduced to the Mount Rushmore project in 1925 through Robinson. During lean times Boland kept the Mount Rushmore project from stalling and worked with unpaid creditors. Congressman [[William Williamson (American politician)|William Williamson]] ("[[South Dakota]]") was the driving force behind the federal funding for the Mount Rushmore project. Williams convinced President [[Calvin Coolidge]] to travel to the Black Hills in 1927. U.S. Senator [[Peter Norbeck]] ("[[South Dakota]]") kept the Mount Rushmore project going in times when federal funding was sparse.
