Season 5, Ep 3: The Story of the Crazy Horse Memorial

Following our episode on Mount Rushmore, it seemed the next one should be about Crazy Horse Memorial, so we dug into our archives and scoured libraries and the internet for the history of how this massive project began. Even though the mountain remains unfinished, the pace has quickened over the years. While it was inspired by Rushmore, its scale and scope are far grander than what Borglum ever dreamed of for Rushmore. We think Crazy Horse Memorial will be worth the wait.
