“The Story of the Liberty Bell is the story of Liberty. It is a history of thrills and throbs and tears.”
This is the story not just of the Liberty Bell but of liberty itself.
Wayne Whipple’s approach to the Liberty Bell is less about the bell itself than it is about humankind.
Starting with the biblical escape of the Jewish people from Egypt, The Story of the Liberty Bell charts the significant events in human liberty that led to American independence and the ringing of the Liberty Bell.
Covering subjects as diverse as the Magna Carta and the Boston Tea Party, The Story of the Liberty Bell looks at freedom from a rare and interesting perspective.
Filled with poems and quotes from great minds, this book puts much faith in humankind.
Wayne Whipple (1856- 1942) was an American historian from Pennsylvania. He was also the designer of the Whipple Flag, an American flag designed in 1912. He died in New York.
