The Central Park Statues Speak Vol II: Central Park West 59th to 72nd; Top of the Park 101st to 110th; 59th St. - 6th Ave. to 5th Ave (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798665441825)

On average 35 million people visit Central Park each year. Many pass by the statues, plaques and benches and wonder who those people were. They read the plaques, but there is more to their stories than just what the inscriptions report. I wrote this historical series, The Central Park Statues Speak, so that readers could learn the compelling life stories of these honorees. Like Alexa or Siri or a historical re-enactor, the statues recall their contributions to society lest we forget. In Volume I, four high school students converse with and confront AI and IT enabled Central Park monuments about their past. The students ask Daniel Webster why he supported the fugitive Slave Act. Fredrick Douglass tell his story of how he escaped slavery. The Captain of the USS Maine reveals how his ship was sunk. At the end of the tour the young researchers confront General Sherman as to whether or not he is guilty of War Crimes .In this 3-volume series, a total of 31 statues, five benches, three plaques, two tree markers, two fountains, one stone mosaic, and one obelisk are interviewed by the co-ed researchers. Enjoy reading or listening to their stories.List of Monuments in Volume II: USS Maine Mazzini 7th Regiment Daniel Webster Imagine - John Lennon Arthur Brisbane Frances Hodgson Burnett Andrew Haswell Green Duke Ellington Fredrick Douglass Jose de San Martin Jose Marti Simon Bolivar Thomas More William Tecumseh Sherman
