Feb. 27, 2008 - Mount Rushmore
Hi! I just finished a book about 
It is a historical monument in the Black Hills of South Dakota. It’s a memorial to 4 presidents. They are Washington, Lincoln, Jefferson, and Roosevelt. It took 14 years. Sculptor Gutzon Borglum made models in clay and then in a mixture of plaster of Paris and wood shavings. He made the real ones out of the mountain with drills and dynamite. Although the work was dangerous, not a single life was lost.

Sorry I haven't posted in a long time 
. I want to tell you some things I read about Jamestown. Jamestown was the first permanent settlement Virginia. The settlers from England hit land on April 26, 1607. From the ships they saw forests taller and thicker than any in England. There were grapevines, raspberry bushes, and giant strawberry plants everywhere. There were traces of opossum, raccoon, deer, bear, beaver, and muskrat in the woods. To people that had lived on ship food for several weeks shellfish was as valuable as gems.

Sorry I haven't posted in a long time. I have been trying to think of what to say. I want to tell you a few things about a book it is the story of the Smithsonian Institution. It is a museum in Washingtion that includes 13 buildings. In one of the buildings visitors are greeted by a huge stuffed elephant standing in the rotunda. This African bush elephant is the largest of its species ever found. He stands more than thirteen feet tall and weighs eight tons.
