Bartholdi, and later civil engineer Alexandre-Gustave Eiffel, caught the spirit of the project and thus began the epic struggle to create, build, transport and pay for the monument. Although The Statue of Liberty was to be a gift from France, the cost of its creation was meant to be shared with America. To the Lady's creators and supporters, America offered liberty and the right to live one's life unencumbered, that is, without fear and with a rule of law and a government that derived its power from the consent of the people they governed. Yet, in America, fundraising for the Lady dragged. Had it not been for publisher Joseph Pulitzer's flashy fundraising campaign in the World, the entire project likely would have collapsed"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Statue of Liberty (New York, N.Y.) $x History. 650 0 $a Monuments $z New York $z New York $x Design and construction. 600 10 $a Bartholdi, FreÌdeÌric Auguste, $d 1834-1904. 651 0 $a New York (N.Y.) $x History. $x History. 651 0 $a United States $x History. $x History. 651 0 $a United States $x Relations $z France. 651 0 $a France $x Relations $z United States. 600 17 $a Bartholdi, FreÌdeÌric Auguste, $d 1834-1904. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00129445 700 1 $a Masi, Antonio., $e illustrator. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20191105025039.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=204F42F2E5A311E9B7B99A5997128E48 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
