Childhood:
"I loved the farm... I was fascinated by the laboratory's magic ... Here began a conflict between values of instinct and intellect..."
-- Charles Lindbergh
Charles Augustus Lindbergh was born February 4, 1902, in his mother's family home in Detroit, Michigan. Charles weighed a healthy nine-and-a-half pounds. The Lindberghs lived in Little Falls, Minnesota, until 1907, when his father, Charles A. Lindbergh, won a seat in Congress. Thereafter, young Charles would spend summers at Little Falls and the school year in Washington. He loved working on the farm and tinkering with science, but detested school. |
