The Liberty Bell is an important and famous symbol of American independence (freedom).
It used to be in the Pennsylvania State House (now known as Independence Hall).
The bell was ordered from the London firm of Lester and Pack (which is known as the Whitechapel Bell Foundry today) in 1752.
It had the letters "Proclaim LIBERTY  throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof."
Those words are a part of Leviticus 25:10.
The bell first cracked when it was first rung when it came to Philadelphia, and was made again twice by John Pass and John Stow, two workmen.
When it was first made, the Liberty Bell was used to make lawmakers come to legislative meetings.
It was also used to call people to public meetings.
Bells were rung when the Declaration of Independence was read on July 8, 1776.
While there is no record that the Liberty Bell also was rung, most historians believe it was rung with the other bells.
In the 1830s, the bell was used as a symbol by abolitionist societies, who called it the "Liberty Bell".
The bell got its large, well-known crack in the early 19th century.
One story claims it was cracked while ringing after the death of Chief Justice John Marshall in 1835.
The bell became widely famous after a short story in 1847 claimed that an old bell-ringer rang it on July 4, 1776, after hearing the Second Continental Congress's vote for independence.
Actually, the bell could not have been rung on that Fourth of July, because no announcement of the Declaration was made that day.
However, many people believed this story.
Even some historians accepted it as a fact.
From 1885, the City of Philadelphia, which owned the bell, allowed it to go to many different patriotic meetings.
Many people came to see the bell, and it grew even more cracked.
Pieces were broken off by souvenir hunters.
The last such journey was in 1915.
After that, the city refused any more requests of that kind.
Founding (1751–1753)
Ever since the city began in 1682, Philadelphia had been using its city bell to make its people know about meetings or civil danger.
The first bell hung from a tree behind the Pennsylvania State House, now known as Independence Hall.
In 1751, a bell tower was built in the Pennsylvania State House, and the leaders there began looking for a bell which could be heard from far away (the city was growing larger quickly).
Isaac Norris, speaker of the Pennsylvania Provincial Assembly, ordered the colony's London agent, Robert Charles, to get a "good Bell of about two thousands pound weight".
We hope and rely (trust) on thy (your) care and assistance (help) in this affair and that thou (you) wilt (will) procure (get) and forward it by the first good oppo as our workmen inform us it will be much less trouble to hang the Bell before their Scaffolds are struck from the Building where we intend (wish) to place it which will not be done 'till the end of next Summer or beginning of the Fall.
Let the bell be cast by the best workmen & examined carefully before it is Shipped with the following words well shaped around it vizt.
By Order of the Assembly of the Povince  of Pensylvania  for the State house in the City of Philada 1752
Proclaim Liberty thro' all the Land to all the Inhabitants thereof.-Levit.
So Charles paid Lester and Pack (today the Whitechapel Bell Foundry) £150 13s 8d, (the same amount of money as about $36,400 today) for the bell, including the cost of taking it to Philadelphia and its insurance.
It arrived in Philadelphia in August 1752.
Becoming a symbol (1847–1865)
A big  reason why the bell became famous was because of a writer named George Lippard.
On January 2, 1847, his story "Fourth of July, 1776" appeared in Saturday Review magazine.
The short story was about an old man on July 4, 1776.
It described how he was sitting sadly by the bell, afraid that Congress would not be able to declare independence.
Suddenly, a young boy comes to tell the old man to ring the bell.
The story was widely reprinted.
This made people think of the Liberty Bell and the Declaration of Independence as closely related.
The Mercury spacecraft that Gus Grissom, an astronaut, flew on July 21, 1961, was called Liberty Bell 7.
The capsules looked a bit like bells, and they painted a crack on it so that it would look like the original Liberty Bell.
Liberty Bell 7 became the only Mercury capsule to suffer an integrity failure.
Margaret Buechner made a work for chorus and orchestra, "Liberty Bell", that uses a 1959 recording of the actual bell made by Columbia Records.
The superhero Liberty Belle's powers come from the ringing of the Bell.

He designed all kinds of buildings including banks, holiday resorts, office buildings, churches, a synagogue, a gas station, a beer garden and an art museum.
Wright designed more than 1,000 structures and completed 532 works.
Wright believed in designing structures which were in peace with humanity and its environment.
He called his belief organic architecture.
He used this technique for his design for Fallingwater (1935), which has been called "the best all-time work of American architecture".
Wright was a leader of the Prairie School movement of architecture and developed the image of the Usonian home, his one-of-a-kind vision for urban planning in the United States.
His work includes original and creative examples of many building types.
Wright also designed many of the interior elements of his buildings, such as the furniture and stained glass.
Wright authored 20 books and many articles and was a popular lecturer in the United States and in Europe.
His colorful personal life often made headlines, most notably for the 1914 fire and murders at his Taliesin studio.
Already well-known during his lifetime, Wright was recognized in 1991 by the American Institute of Architects as "the greatest American architect of all time."
Wright died on April 9, 1959 in Phoenix, Arizona from surgical complications.
He was 91 years old.
Frank Lloyd Wright was born in the farming town of Richland Center, Wisconsin, United States, on June 8, 1867.
He was born Frank Lincoln Wright.
His father, William Carey Wright (1825–1904), was a locally admired speaker, music teacher, sometimes a lawyer, and minister.
William Wright had met and married Anna Lloyd Jones (1838/39 – 1923), a county school teacher of Welsh descent, the previous year when he was employed as the superintendent of schools for Richland County.
The Wright family moved from Richland Center to Weymouth, Massachusetts.
Afterwards, The Wright Family struggled financially in Weymouth and returned to Spring Green, Wisconsin.
They settled in Madison.
Although William was a distant parent, he shared his love of music, especially the works of Johann Sebastian Bach, with his children.
Wright attended a Madison High School, but there is no evidence he ever graduated.
He was admitted to the University of Wisconsin–Madison as a special student in 1886.
There he joined Phi Delta Theta fraternity, took classes part-time for two semesters, and worked with a professor of civil engineering, Allan D. Conover.
He moved to Chicago, Illinois in 1887.
Wright did not get along well with other draftsmen.
He wrote that several violent events happened between them during the first years of his apprenticeship.
Afterwards many other draftsmen showed very little respect for his employees as well.
In spite of this, "Sullivan took [Wright] under his wing and gave him great design responsibility."
As an act of respect, Wright would later refer to Sullivan as Lieber Meister (German for "Dear Master").
Wright also formed a bond with office foreman Paul Mueller.
Wright would later engage Mueller to build several of his public and commercial buildings between 1903 and 1923.
As Wright began to work on residential projects for Adler & Sullivan.
Wright designed his houses on his own time.
Sullivan knew nothing of Wright's works until 1893, when he recognized that one of the houses was a Frank Lloyd Wright design.
This particular house, built for Allison Harlan, was only blocks away from Sullivan's townhouse in the Chicago community of Kenwood.
Many examples of his work are in Buffalo, New York as a result of friendship between Wright and Darwin D. Martin.
In 1902, the Larkin Company decided to build a new building.
Wright came to Buffalo and designed not only the Larkin Administration Building (completed in 1904, demolished in 1950), but also homes for three of the company's executives including the Darwin D. Martin House in 1904.
Wright later built their summer home.
He also designed the Graycliff Estate, also designed for Darwin D. Martin and his wife, Isabelle.
1914 Taliesin murders
On August 15, 1914, while Wright was working in Chicago, Julian Carlton, a male servant from Barbados who had been hired several months earlier, set fire to the living room of Taliesin and murdered seven people with an axe as the fire burned.
The dead included Mamah; her two children, John and Martha; a gardener; a draftsman named Emil Brodelle; a worker; and another workman's son.
Two people survived the mayhem.
One of them helped to put out the fire that almost completely burned the residential wing of the house.
Carlton swallowed muriatic acid right after the attack in an attempt to kill himself.
He was nearly lynched on the spot, but was taken to the Dodgeville jail.
Frank Lloyd Wright designed a summer-house in 1935 for the Kaufmann family over a waterfall in Pennsylvania.
He called the house "Fallingwater".
Some people say it is the most famous private home in the world.
The house actually sits low in the valley over the stream, but looks dramatic from further downstream.
It has large terraces, and some of them stick straight out and hang over the waterfall or the stream.
There are windows and glass doors, with only narrow steel supports between them, wrapping all the way around the living room.
Most of the house is made from stone.
There are strong horizontal and vertical lines in the design of the house.
It resembles the horizontal and vertical lines in the rock formations and other natural features.
The waterfall can be heard everywhere in the house.
Wright wanted there to be a close connection between inside and outside, and for the house itself to be natural.
One famous house was called the Robie House.
It had a maze like layout and geometric stained glass windows.
The Robie House was a unique house with odd shapes, colors and form.
He finished making it in 1910, as a house for children.
In fact, many children lived and played in that house with their families up until 1926 when it was closed for living in, and closed to the public.
Many times, it was planned to be destroyed.
However, twice, Wright saved his house from destruction because of the reasons he built it and all the memories of it that he loved so much.
It is now being restored at a cost of $10 million.
Another famous building by Wright was called the Johnson Wax Headquarters.
The building has Wright's idea of the streamlined Art Moderne style popular in the 1930s.
In a break with Wright's earlier Prairie School structures, the building features many circular forms and needed over 200 different curved "Cherokee red" bricks to create the sweeping curves of the inside and outside.
The mortar between the bricks was created in traditional Wright-style to give the horizontality of the building.
The warm, reddish hue of the bricks was used in the polished concrete floor as well.
The white stone trim and white columns create a slight yet striking difference.
All of the furniture, created by Steelcase, was designed for the building by Wright and it mirrored many of the building's unique design features.
The entrance is in the structure, entering the building on one side with a covered carport on the other.
The carport is supported by short versions of the steel-reinforced (tree-like) concrete columns that appear in the Great Workroom.
Wright proposed to build a skyscraper called The Illinois that would be the height of a distance of a mile.
It was intended to be constructed in Chicago, Illinois.
It could have included 528 stories, with a gross area of 18,460,000 square feet (1,715,000 m2).
Wright stated that there would be parking for 15,000 cars and 150 helicopters.
The Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York City.
Wright worked on this project for 16 years (1943–1959) and is probably his most recognized masterpiece.
The building is located in Fifth Avenue.
Its interior is similar to the inside of a seashell.
However, when the museum was completed, some of Wright's design were ignored, such as his desire for the interior to be painted off-white.
Further, the Museum currently designs exhibits to be viewed by walking up the curved walkway without walking down from the top-level.
Wright strongly believed in working alone.
He did not support the American Institute of Architects during his career, going so far as to call the organization "a harbor of refuge for the incompetent," and "a form of refined gangsterism."
When an the Institute called him "an old amateur" Wright later responded, "I am the oldest."
In 1940, Wright started the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation.
It was set up for educational purposes.
It looks after two Wright buildings, Taliesin East in Wisconsin, and Taliesin West in Arizona.
It has a library with more than 22,000 of Wright's drawings, and 300,000 documents.
It is home to the Frank Lloyd Wright School of Architecture.
Frank Lloyd Wright was married three times and fathered seven children, four sons and three daughters.
He also adopted Svetlana Milanoff, the daughter of his third wife, Olgivanna Lloyd Wright.
Wright once had an apprentice who was married to Joseph Stalin's daughter.
Catherine "Kitty" (Tobin) Wright (1871–1959); social worker, socialite (married in June 1889; divorced November 1922)
Maude "Miriam" (Noel) Wright (1869–1930), artist (married in November 1923; divorced August 1927)
Olga Ivanovna "Olgivanna" (Lazovich Milanoff) Lloyd Wright (1897–1985), dancer and writer (married in August 1928)
Wright was a fan of Japanese Art and collected them throughout his career.
Wright continued to collect them until his death in 1959.
He used prints to help him pay for loans.
He often relyed upon his art business to help financially.
Wright died on April 9, 1959, while undergoing surgery in Phoenix, Arizona, to remove an intestinal obstruction.
His third wife, Olgivanna, ran the Fellowship after Wright's death, until her own death in Scottsdale, Arizona, in 1985.
Later that year, it was learned that her dying wish had been that Wright, she, and her daughter by a first marriage all be cremated and relocated to Scottsdale.
By then, Wright's body had lain for over 25 years in the Lloyd-Jones cemetery, next to the Unity Chapel, near Taliesin, Wright's later-life home in Spring Green, Wisconsin.
Wright's remains were removed from his grave by members of the Taliesin Fellowship.
Then, his remains were cremated and sent to Scottsdale where they were later interred in the memorial garden.
In 1966, the United States Postal Service honored Wright with a Prominent Americans series 2¢ postage stamp.
Several of Wright's buildings have been proposed by the United States to be UNESCO World Heritage sites.
Shortly after his death, Simon & Garfunkel recorded So Long, Frank Lloyd Wright as a tribute to Wright.
In 2000, Fallingwater was named "The Building of the 20th century" in "Top-Ten" poll taken by members attending the AIA annual convention in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
On that list, Wright was listed along with many of the USA's other greatest architects including Eero Saarinen, I. M. Pei, Louis Kahn, Philip Johnson and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe.
He was the only architect who had more than one building on the list.
The other three buildings were the Guggenheim Museum, the Frederick C. Robie House and the Johnson Wax Headquarters.

Eolian (or aeolian or æolian) is an event that occurs in nature.
It is related to the winds and its ability to modify the surface of the Earth and other planets.
Winds cause erosion, and move sand and other materials.
Wind is powerful in dry regions with sparse vegetation, such as deserts.
