The Statue of Liberty Wasn't Made to Welcome Immigrants: Exposing Myths about U.S. Landmarks (Library Binding) (ISBN-13: 9781538237601)

This beautifully designed book offers numerous intriguing facts about American landmarks, including the Washington Monument, Statue of Liberty, and more. Each site's history unfolds through the dismantling of a myth about it. Readers will become savvy tour guides of our nation's most treasured locations.
