For fans of the Crazy Horse Memorial, in South Dakota, or those just
interested in learning about it, visit and join the discussion group:

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/CrazyHorseMemorial/

A 600 foot tall mountain is being carved in-the-round into the likeness
of Sioux Cheif Crazy Horse in South Dakota. It's been in progress since
1948 and is the world's largest sculpture. The face alone, which has
been completed in 1998 is already the world's largest sculpted portrait.
They have been working on blocking out the horse's head since then and
it is half blocked out.

This Memorial, which contains one of the foremost museums of Native
American history, truly captures the imagination.

I have posted several articles on the memorial's creation, engineering
logistics, history and opinion at this discussion group. Anything is
open for discussion. Come by and read the archives or post your
questions or opinions!

The memorial's website:

www.crazyhorse.org.

I visited there a couple of years ago on my travels and was suitably
impressed.
Well worth a look if you are in the area. Details of my visit is on my

Hi,

Yeah, my family and I ( from Glasgow, Scotland ) took a driving tour of
the Dakotas two years ago whilst visiting family in Minnesota.

Mt. Rushmore was impressive, but Crazy Horse was different class - it
really was the highlight of the whole trip for us.

Regards,

Dave.
