The Liberty Tree: One Hundred Faces of America is an illustrated history of Liberty in America
.
Liberty is "the ability to make our own life decisions according to our own sense of what is best."
This book tells the story of Liberty in America through profiles of one hundred Americans.
The story begins with a native woman meeting English settlers on the East Coast in 1610. It continues to a seven-year-old child today, blissfully unaware of how fragile his home and family are.
In between we meet Americans great and small, famous, infamous, and unknown, all playing their own role in this dance of American Liberty.
We meet those enslaved and those who enslaved them, those who sacrificed for Liberty and those who fought against it. We encounter stories of those who escaped bonds to become free, and those who spent their liberty in service to others.
The Liberty Tree ends with a note of cautious hope. Liberty has deep roots among us and its future may be bright...if we allow it to be.
Meet these one hundred Americans, and discover your own place among them!
