The boyhood of C.A. Lindbergh yields many clues to his personality as a man

The present work was originally used as an illustration for an article in the August 1931 issue of McCall's magazine, "The Lindberghs: The Family's Own Story." The touching work depicts the famous aviator Charles Lindbergh as a child, presumably on his family's farm near Little Falls, Minnesota. The first person to successfully complete a transatlantic flight, Lindbergh was awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor and the first-ever Distinguished Flying Cross by the U.S. government.
