Tuesday, March 3, 1925. Monumental.

The United States Congress authorized the construction of Mount Rushmore.


Frankly, as a naturalist, I guess, I have real mixed feelings about Mount Rushmore. It's an impressive monumental work of art, but at the same time, I feel that there's no mountain so lacking that carving it into a bas relief improves it.

Apparently some in the legislature really like Mt. Rushmore as there was a bill to create a Mt. Rushmore like monument in Wyoming this year, called the "Monument To America".  

The bill died in the House.

The Appalachian Trail Conservancy was formed.
