BY SUNNDEEP CHOPRA.

South Dakota is certainly the repository of 20^th century American History and the home of Mount Rushmore, Crazy Horse memorial, Minuteman Missile National Historic site and may other of their ilk. Immensely popular with both domestic and international tourists, South Dakota certainly has something for everyone.

Your rental vehicle from the car rental South Dakota services will find itself involuntarily drawn towards Mount Rushmore; nestled in the backdrop Of South Dakota’s Black Hills, this 500 feet wide and 60 feet high sculpture of the faces of the four most exalted American Presidents namely George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt and Abraham Lincoln looks forward or then out towards the country that all four of them so deeply loved and venerated.

Sculptor Gutzon Borglum began drilling into the 5,725 feet high mountain way back in 1927. The creation and completion of the “ Shrine of Democracy” took 14 long years and cost the American exchequer a measly 1 million dollars, though it’s now deemed priceless.

The gods must be crazy; well they certainly aren’t crazy as your sojourn in your rental from the car rentals south Dakota will reveal. “ my fellow chiefs and I would like the white man to know that the red man has great heroes too.” These are the words chief Henry Standing Bear wrote to sculptor Korczak Ziolowski way back in 1939 urging him to visit the Black Hills and carve a mountain sculpture honouring the beleaguered American Indians. Work continues till date on this world’s largest mountain sculpture which will stand a stately 641 feet long and 563 feet high when completed. Meanwhile the chief’s and sculptors families keep the dream alive.

The United States Air Force began burying top secret weapons beneath the prairie grasses of South Dakota during the year 1961 and the Minuteman Missile national Historic Site bears both silent and adequate testimony to this undeniable as well as startling fact. The Minuteman Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles were designed as a deterrent to any nuclear misadventures by the then USSR at the height of the Cold War, though they were never used, the same bear silent testimony towards man’s immense potential for self destruction.
