What's in a Name, Mount Rushmore
This famous of American landmarks did not
get its name from the mountain it is built on nor is it named
after the man who sculpted it. In 1884, an attorney named
Charles Edward Rushmore visited the Black Hills area to verify
some legal titles. According to the National Parks site,
Rushmore asked a local guide what the name of the mountain was.
The guide replied, "We will name it now, and name it Rushmore."
