The Middle West
 The
Rocky Mountains slide down easterly towards the great plains states,
flat lands where grain fields extend for miles in either direction.
In the northern part of this region, in the state of South Dakota,
is the unusual artistic project at Mt. Rushmore, where enormous
portraits of four famous
U.S. Presidents: George Washington,
Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, and Theodore Roosevelt, are sculpted
on the face of the 1730 meter high mountain.
To
the south of this National Monument, flowing down to the Gulf of
Mexico, is the mighty Mississippi River, whose shores are dotted
with such
famous American cities as the twin
cities Minneapolis and St. Paul, St. Louis, Memphis, and finally
in Louisiana, Baton Rouge and New Orleans. Each of these cities
has its own distinctive charm and historic sites, yet surrounding
the southern cities of Baton Rouge and New Orleans are vestiges
of the old Southern plantations, where some old mansions
can still be seen and even visited.
