Description
The stories behind the Statue of Liberty and the erection of the Brooklyn Bridge are more interesting than you can imagine.
The construction of the Statue of Liberty didn't happen because of the governments of France and America - it was the everyday people of both countries who helped create, transport and erect the most famous icon of liberty and freedom in the world.
The Brooklyn Bridge wouldn't exist without Emily Warren Roebling.
Join Kit and Sherlock for the inside story of these two important structures in American history.
