[Rushmore Rocks]

Living only 20 miles from the site, I have watched the progress of Crazy Horse Monument for about 30 years. Korzcak Ziolkowsky passed away several years ago, but his widow, Ruth, and several children have continued with his dream. They are doing an admiral job. They accept no government funding and rely totally on private donations and a small admittance fee to the site. There is so much more to see there than just the monument. The Indian museum is one of the best in the nation. On the drawing board are also plans for an Indian university and hospital on site. Most tourists come here to see Mt. Rushmore....but I suggest they add the Crazy Horse monument to their itinerary. It really is a "have to see". The gift shop is good too, if you are interested in Native American art and artifacts.

If any FReepers come this way, contact me. I'll give you a personal tour.

I'm going to take you up on that someday. I have always wanted to visit the Dakotas.

Any idea of the amount of donations they get from Indian casinos?

[Experiment 6-2-6]

I remember first seeing this in 1995, driving my professor's car from San Diego to Connecticut. I was really impressed with the story of this artist, especially the part where he stormed the beaches at Normandy...

Thank you. I will take you up on that sometime before next fall.
