Red Wing Shoes Presents: Crazy Horse Monument- Five against the Mountain

In 1939, a monument similar to Mount Rushmore was requested to immortalize on sacred ground the Oglala Lakota war hero Crazy Horse, and to celebrate the Indian Nation. In 1948, a small group of craftsmen took over the monumental task of sculpting the mountain into a man. This video documents the devotion they have to the pursuit of perfection. It’s the story of five men against the mountain who know the sculpture won’t be completed in their lifetime. But like all well-crafted monuments, it will not only live on as a tribute to Crazy Horse, but also as a tribute to the craftsmanship and perseverance of those who built it.

Great video. Thank you to all of the men and women that have given their time and lives for all future generations to see and enjoy. I only hope that I will live long enough to return and see it finished. A true great wonder of the world.

What a heart-warming story. This guy and his late father are heroes in my mind. Looks like a real A-Team group of guys too. Wow!

@theryanlabrosse EITS was the original inspiration, you have a good ear. On a side note I just saw them, what an incredible band live, really blew me away.
