Excerpt from Liberty's Centennial: A Poem of 1876 A spell steals o'er my troubled mind With beaming dew like Eden's haze, Until my heart, to fate resigned, Like heaven burns with love and praise: A rosy life in silver calm, More gentle than the rays aloft. Sinks on my soul and eyes with balm And blessing holy, pure and soft; The mystery of this serene Seems all divine; what may it mean To flesh and blood? The tender light Gives archangelic strength to sight, To stretch beyond the farthest sun, And past and present view as one; Ay, ages pierce ere they have birth, O'erlooking all as eagles earth. And set the fettered senses free Till e'en the blind from birth can see. That light, from neither sun nor moon, I drink as life; I feel it soon From the Immortal Inmost roll, And grandly flow from soul to soul.

Here is the story of how the Statue of Liberty got its pedestal when Joseph Pulitzer, a Jewish immigrant and famous newsman, created one of the first American crowdfunding campaigns to raise money for it. When Joseph Pulitzer first saw the Statue of Liberty's head in Paris, he shared sculptor Auguste Bartholdi's dream of seeing France's gift of friendship stand in the New York harbor. Pulitzer loved words, and the word he loved best was liberty. Frustrated that many, especially wealthy New Yorkers, were not interested in paying for the statue's needed pedestal, Pulitzer used his newspaper, the New York World, to call on all Americans to contribute. Claudia Friddell's text and Stacy Innerst's illustrations capture this inspiring story of how one immigrant brought together young and old, rich and poor, to raise funds for the completion of a treasured national monument.
