Here's A Little Known Fact....................




that I discovered while browsing around Crazy Horse. Sculptor Korczak Ziolkowski was commissioned to create the Crazy Horse Memorial back in 1947. We attended an introductory film about Korczak and how he became the man to start the Crazy Horse project. The film indicated that he had worked under Gutzon Borglum, the sculptor who created the president's faces on Mt. Rushmore. I figured that was the reason he was commissioned to start the CR project. Well, check out this letter.........geezzz, the guy was fired by the famous Borglum!! At least that's the way I interpret this letter.
