Lady of Liberty
4 pp · non-fiction

In 1947, a father and son board an excursion to Bedloe's Island to visit the Statue of Liberty, where the father shares the remarkable history of how this iconic monument came to America. Beginning in 1865, French sculptor Frederic Bartholdi conceived the idea of a colossal copper statue as a gift honoring America's centennial of independence—a project that required years of fundraising, construction, and international coordination before its dedication by President Grover Cleveland in October 1886. This story traces the statue's journey from Bartholdi's vision through its assembly on American soil, celebrating the people and ingenuity behind one of the world's greatest symbols of freedom.

Back home, he turns down a commission to remain an enlisted man—and makes the choice to return to combat rather than stay stateside. His legacy lives on in the proud tradition of the Marine Corps.

John Wesley Hyatt (1837-1920)

When a printer in Albany takes on a seemingly impossible wager to create an ivory-like billiard ball for a ten-thousand-dollar prize, he stumbles into one of history's most consequential accidents. John Wesley Hyatt's search for the right material—aided by a spilled bottle of collodion—leads him to discover celluloid, a versatile synthetic compound that will eventually become the foundation of his brothers' company and reshape manufacturing forever. This is the true story of how a single bet transformed an inventor's life and changed the world.

This true story traces his journey from discovery by scout Ed Barrow through his early triumphs with Louisville and his reign as a shortstop and eight-time National League batting champion in Pittsburgh. Today, as a Pirates coach, Wagner carries on the tradition he helped build, passing his knowledge to the next generation.

Nathanael Greene - Quaker General

Nathaniel Greene (1742-1786)

In 1775, a young Quaker blacksmith from Rhode Island begins teaching himself the art of warfare—defying his community's pacifist traditions—and when the Revolution erupts at Concord that same year, Nathanael Greene rises rapidly through the Continental Army ranks. From holding Boston to his inspired forced marches and his daring "split and rush" tactics against superior British forces, Greene becomes Washington's most resourceful general, ultimately leading his ragged army across three rivers to safety and frustrating even Cornwallis himself. This is the story of how a self-taught soldier, driven by an insatiable hunger to learn, helped turn the tide of America's fight for independence.
