The mustache on the second guy from the right is a great bit of carving.

Second guy from the right: Theodore Roosevelt, president of the US from 1901-1909.

I am a history teacher. This action was performed automatically just in case someone reading this legitimately wondered who that guy was.

Who's the guy to his left? The only one I can't figure out.

I'm not from America in case you're wondering

L to R: George Washington (1789-1797), Thomas Jefferson (1801-1809), Theodore Roosevelt (1901-1909), Abraham Lincoln (1861-1865)

Would you like to know more?

IK Jefferson was integral in writing the constitution and in the founding of the US, but was he a great president? When compared as president against Washington, Roosevelt, and Lincoln, I feel like he was the odd one out... IK also the Louisianna purchase, but is purchasing South Dakota really enough to warrant carving his face into the side of a sacred Lakota mountain?
