Newly updated & revised edition - updated in 2016. Dear Miss Liberty is a collection of letters to The Statue of Liberty from young and old across the United States and the world. Sincere outpourings of affection and honor, the letters represent the importance of Liberty's 1986 restoration and the enduring symbol of home and freedom she stands for in the midst of political repression and war. Thirty years later, the letters and memories are more poignant and important than ever before. These letters are excellent primary sources and provide an innovative way to teach social studies and American History and World History in the classroom. Great for teachers and students alike!
