The workers who built Mount Rushmore were primarily a team of around 400 laborers, including skilled stone carvers and sculptors, as well as unskilled laborers. Many were local men from South Dakota and surrounding states, and some were miners looking for work during the Great Depression. The project, led by sculptor Gutzon Borglum, involved the use of dynamite and hand tools to carve the faces of four U.S. presidents into the granite mountain. Safety measures were minimal, and the work was physically demanding, with workers often suspended on ropes from the mountain's face.
