Arthur H. Robinson was professor emeritus of geography and cartography at the University of Wisconsin. Robinson's Projection transforms the spherical earth onto a flat map by a method that shows overall shapes, sizes, positions, and appearances of the earth's countries with less distortion than on most flat world maps. (and that, my dears, should earn anyone an A- at the least.)

How do you know that state historian of South Dakota did not have to wheedle to get Borglum to take on the Mount Rushmore project?

South Dakota State Historian Doane Robinson wrote a letter to Gutzon Borglum asking him to visit South Dakota so they could discuss the project. Borglum responded with a telegram that he was interested and would come visit. Doane Robinson and Gutzon Borglum met twice in the Black Hills. On the second trip, in 1925, Borglum found Mount Rushmore and knew that was the mountain he wanted to carve, no wheedling needed! Gutzon Borglum had been working on the Stone Mountain project in Georgia, but he was dismissed from that project which made him available for the Mount Rushmore project. More information and a copy of the first letter from Doane Robinson to Gutzon Borglum and a copy of Borglum's reply telegram can be found at the National Park Service's Mount Rushmore web site - see Related Links.

If you meant a different individual or a specific incident involving Chris Robinson, please clarify. As of my last knowledge update in October 2023, there hasn't been any notable news regarding him related to that name.

Why does doane Robinson writes to gutzon borglum?
