Hello! In this weeks episode I am joined by Author Matthew Davis to discuss his most recent release "A Biography of a Mountain: The Making and Meaning of Mount Rushmore.

"A Biography of A Mountain combines history with reportage, bringing the complicated and nuanced story of Mt. Rushmore to life, from the land's origins as sacred tribal ground; to the expansion of the American West; to the larger-than-life personality of Gutzon Borglum, the artist who carved the presidential faces into the mountain; and up to the politicized present-day conflict over the site and its future. Exploring issues related to how we memorialize American history, Davis tells an imperative story for our time."
