This evocative bronze bust at the tomb's entrance was
created by Gutzon Borglum of Mount Rushmore fame. It is a copy
of the bust in the U.S. Capitol building. Borglum, who
studied Lincoln's features intensively through photographs
and portraits, said: "You will find written in his face
literally all the complexity of his great nature."Borglum Bust in
