Although still under construction, the South Dakota memorial to Crazy Horse is already drawing massive crowds that marvel at its majesty. Sculptor Kroczak Ziolkowski has undertaken a “monumental” task to carve a mountainside into a larger than life rendition of this famous Native American—best remembered for his role in the Battle of Little Big Horn.
