America's most iconic national symbol was a gift from France to the United States--provided America raised the money for the pedestal on which it was to stand. Urged on by the publisher Joseph Pulitzer, it was raised, largely with the help of children, in the first example of a crowd sourced fundraising campaign. This book tells the story of the best gift ever: how it was designed, created, transported, and then finally erected on its pedestal in the entrance to New York Harbor.

"The story of Jason and the Argonauts' search for the Golden Fleece is one of the earliest recorded Greek myths, and Jason is one of the ancient world's mightiest heroes. With the famed Argonauts, Jason battled monsters, encountered sorceresses, and was aided and hindered in turn by the gods of Olympus on his epic quest. Award-winning author-illustrator Robert Byrd traces each step of our hero's journey to find the Golden Fleece and reclaim his throne. This...illustrated account of the legend brings Jason's life and times to a new generation of readers"--Dust jacket.
