Summary "Give the Man Room: The Story of Gutzon Borglum" by Robert J. Casey and Mary Borglum is a historical account likely written in the mid-20th century. The book explores the life and legacy of Gutzon Borglum, the American sculptor renowned for creating Mount Rushmore and his various artistic feats, including his lesser-known work at Stone Mountain, Georgia. It chronicles his artistic journey, struggles, and intimate thoughts, providing insights into both his professional achievements and personal reflections. The opening of the work sets the stage for Gutzon Borglum's story by establishing Stone Mountain, Georgia, as an initial focal point for his artistic endeavors. It discusses his challenges at Stone Mountain, where he faced disagreements that ultimately led to a halt in his work. Additionally, it transitions to his subsequent projects, notably the iconic Mount Rushmore, highlighting how Borglum's early experiments with granite at Stone Mountain were foundational for his later monumental achievements. The narrative intertwines the perception of Borglum as an artist, his relationships with various stakeholders, and the broader implications of his work on American cultural identity.
