Excerpt from George Abraham Thomas The history of George A. Thomas is far from being the story of an ordinary life, although it was lived so quietly that only those who knew him best altogether understood, for his was a rarely beautiful character. From his earliest childhood he manifested an intense love for books, for study, for school. When he was only a young boy, hardly fifteen years of age, at the suggestion of his teacher in the old academy, Prof. Milan L. Ward, he commenced keeping a journal of passing events, and it is from this it is most interesting to quote, because so much of the boy and the man are revealed that would otherwise have been lost.

The contributions of these four presidents are forever set in stone! From personal correspondence to presidential speeches and documents, Monument: Words of Four Presidents Who Sculpted America explores the written words of the men forever remembered on the face of Mount Rushmore National Memorial in South Dakota. Originally a project to boost tourism, the sculpture received congressional approval in 1925, and construction was completed in 1941, shortly after the death of sculptor Gutzon Borglum. Canterbury Classics has gathered historic documents penned by George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, and Theodore Roosevelt into this beautiful leather-bound volume, and added introductions by learned scholars to outline the contribution each president made to the birth, growth, development, and preservation of the United States. Also included is the story of how Mount Rushmore came to be, and a foreword written by historian Robert Dallek. With more than two million visitors annually, Mount Rushmore lives up to its status as a “Shrine of Democracy,” and this rich piece of U.S. history is preserved in this timeless collectible edition.
