At the request of the Minnesota Historical Society, Charles Lindbergh recorded his reminiscences of life and activities on his family's Little Falls, Minnesota, farm before and after World War I, for the purpose of aiding the MHS in restoring the home inside the boundaries of the Charles a. Lindbergh state park. The narrative is accompanied by 50 illustrations which include letters exchanged between the senior and junior Charles Lindberghs, entries from the author's boyhood diaries, and photographs from his personal album, which are now in the collection of the Minnesota Historical Society.
