The Statue of Liberty

by Jennifer Silate

France's gift to the United States of "Liberty Enlightening the World" has become one of the world's most recognizable symbols of America's ideals. The idea for the statue was born at a dinner party in France in 1865, and it evolved to become one of the nineteenth century's most amazing architectural and engineering feats. Readers will be fascinated by the intriguing history of America's "Lady with the Torch."
