George Washington

Theodore Roosevelt

Theodore Roosevelt was the 26th president of the US. He was chosen to be on Mt. Rushmore because the sculptors (Gutzon and Lincoln Borglum) thought he represented north America’s destiny and dynasty along with the other presidents. Another interesting fact - during his time in office, he was a driving force in the Progressive Era in the early 20th century.
