Well the answer is George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt, and Abraham
Lincoln
Exact details:
It took more than 14 years for Gutzon Borglum, along with about 400 workers, to carve out the 60-foot sculpted heads of the four presidents. And during the construction, the workers climbed 506 steps in order to get to the top. And yet, although the work was dangerous, not a single life was lost.
Reason for choosing the faces:
George Washington was chosen because he was the one who led the nation to democracy
Thomas Jefferson, because he authored the Declaration of Independence
Abraham Lincoln because he brought to an end slavery in the U.S.
Theodore Roosevelt, who was chosen by Borglum himself, because he was the one who advanced the cause of the construction of the Panama Canal as well as promoted the causes of conservation and business
