Description

Did you know that Statue of Liberty did not begin her life in New York? Join 4 boys from both sides of the Atlantic as they take part in Building Liberty. The Statue of Liberty was given to the U.S. by the people of France as a gift of friendship to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Amer. independence. At that time, very few children attended school. Instead, most worked on farms, in stores, in mines, or in workshops. The 4 heroes of this story -- Leo, Fanch, Ben, & Angus -- each had his own experience as he helped to build one of the world’s most famous landmarks. The extraordinary construction of the Statue of Liberty began in France in 1875 &, with the work of many people, was completed 11 years later on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean in NY. Illus.
