Description
In 1876, France made up our minds to present the US an overly big and really special present–the Statue of Liberty. The gift used to be to commemorate the 100th birthday of the US, and just packing it used to be no small feat–350 pieces in 214 crates shipped around the ocean. The tale of the way the 111-foot-tall lady took her place within the New York Harbor will fascinate young readers.
