The Rock Pigures of Dartus, Commemorating His

By Gutzon Borglum
The m Amercan Sculput
HE proposal to honor the great men of
I the South ought to appeal to every
American. It i»s only: failr that the
South should have its say. Bight hundred
thousand men of pure Anglo-Saxon blood sac
rificed themselves for the Confederate cause.
They believed It was just and did not hesi
tate; they were giad to give thelr lives for It
The reasons for this war have passed, and
the Justice of the Southern cause belongs to
an earlier time. But the character, the high
principle of those great men, thelr virtuous
fortitude, and the noble service of both the
men and the women of the South should not
De ignored. They ought to be made as vital
to us and to the future American as they
were in "84

were abandoned as 100 conventional
It sppeared to me that this great patural
upbeaval of granite protested agalnst any
kind of geometrical forms. Of necessity they
would bave 1o be too small to dominate its
thape. Undoubted'y the Greeks would have
terraced its sides and mounted upon its cor
oices rows upon rows of little statues. The
Egyptians would have thrown a hundred
thousand workmen upon its sides and re
shaped it into a monster pyramid, cutting a
bundred thousand steps to its top What
can we do that is original? was the problem
In the first place, | sald, we can attack the
mountain with machinery, which the anclents
lacked, and, In the second place, we can do
80 with the spirit not of slaves driven by
whips, but of free Americans, dealing frankly
with our own problem, and recreate our great
men and thelr comrades as they were, In &
design suitable to the place selected, and
treated In such & way that the work will
endure as long as the mountaln. This plan
Was accepied.
Hundreds of
Figures Fifty Feet High
The great South of today will reconstruct
the noble men of the war and carve them in
colossal full rellef in sction; mounted, o 8
fool, pulling the guns and moving across the
sranite face of the mountain. The figures
will be visible at & distsnce of several miles
and their lkenosses recognizable In har
monious groups will appear the official heads
of the Bouth, the foremost men in the differ
ent branches of the service from each Con
fedorate Siate, accompanied by their armies
The beight of these Sgures will be about

Sialues of this colossal sise. Obviously as &
£Toup they will stand alone I 8 the monumen

One such statue would be, Indesd, &Mg

1 am convinced that this huge upheaval of
solid granite offers to the people of the
Southern States an unequalled chance per
manently to honor their great. The Pyra
