Lincoln Borglum

Not only was Gutzon a talent artist he was known for his temper as well.  No one could dispute his ability, but he was quick to the flame.  Since all his jobs at the time were usually delegated by committee, you could see his frustration on having to answer to non-artist businessmen who were only interested in the bottom line that could change as job progressed.  Gutzon spared no expense or time on his projects often making little money in the end and forcing the family into revolving debt.

Fact not in the book:  When Gutzon died suddenly,  Mary Borglum was saddled with much debt.  Lincoln, being a loyal son, worked 5 years to pay it off.  That Lincoln Borglum was some kind of guy!
