Read the excerpt from "Lady Liberty."When we got there, the harbor was busy, and the island seemed a mess. The US Lighthouse Board was having some trouble with repairs. Only one of four entrances was open to guests, and the latrine was just a small shed over the sea. We passed a large sinkhole on the grounds as we walked around Fort Wood.Our guide said the fort was built in 1811 and was one of eight that had guarded the bay. The statue’s granite base stood inside the courtyard, with the broken shackles of slavery by the giant feet. France was against slavery, and knowing the statue was their gift made me proud of my family. It had been a shared project between the two countries.

Read the excerpt from "Lady Liberty."The frame took more than two years to finish, and it was hard for me to imagine the dedication required to create such a magnificent structure. Papa said Eiffel formed twelve thousand iron pieces to the exact shape needed, and they fit together using seven million nails. Thin sheets of Bartholdi's hammered copper attached to Eiffel's frame. The copper’s thickness was about the same as two pennies, and, combined with the frame, the pieces were one inch thick. They let the statue sway in the wind and expand and contract with heat or cold. It was designed so any stress was shifted to the steel supports inside – although the sea air did turn the copper surface to a soft green tarnish.
