Crazy Horse Memorial and museum near Rapid City, South Dakota. Equipped with only a sledge hammer, a single-jack drill bit and a box of dynamite, Boston-born sculptor Korczak Ziolkowski went to work on June 3, 1948 creating his 563 by 641-foot sculpture of an Indian man atop a spirited warhorse. Though Korczak died in 1982, his family continues the work and the sculpture continues to take shape.
