who was the stone carver of mt rushmore
A plaque recognizes Luigi del Bianco as the chief carver of Mount Rushmore. âI got the idea for this book listening to an NPR interview with a man claiming to be the last surviving worker of Mount Rushmore,â Gladstone says. âHe claimed Luigi Del Bianco was not the main carver or even a good stone carver. The old manâs comments disturbed me because he was responding to De Biancoâs son Caesar and grandson Louâs quest to get Del Bianco more recognition for his contribution to Mount Rushmore.
