How do you explain this? Poet Robert Frost is teaching at Amherst, is friends with its trustee Dwight Morrow who approved his hiring and who did Frost favors down in Mexico. Morrow's wife is a patron-member of the Poetry Society of America to which Frost belonged and is friends with him. Frost's son-in-law is Dwight Morrow Jr.'s friend during the time of the kidnapping of Morrow Jr.'s nephew Charles Lindbergh Jr. and months after the sudden death of Dwight Morrow Sr. Frost's wife writes in June 1932 about her daughter's engagement to a boy "a companion of young Dwight Morrow, whom we know very well at Amherst. He introduced himself to Marjorie because of that acquaintance." On June 1, 1932 Frost read at Columbia U. "and there we visited Mr. & Mrs. Thomas Lamont at their country home on the Palisades for two days and nights then friends in Montclair." This visit with the man who assembled the Lindbergh ransom money two months earlier & was Morrow's partner at J.P. Morgan. Frost was also working for Lindbergh's boss Henry Ford c. 1926 "I have been telling the editors of the Dearborn Independent...since they have exhausted the Jew...about doing something for the arts. I shall do what I can for them." How can America's greatest poet who just won the 1931 Pulitzer Prize NOT mention anything about the crime of the century or Dwight Morrow - his employer's sudden death in his letters? His oldish daughter, ill with T.B. gets a husband through Dwight Morrow Jr's good offices, Dwight Jr. attends Frost's lectures,his mother gives him awards at the poetry society and the ransom collector hosts them three months after the crime. The only explanation that makes sense is that Frost thinks there is something fishy about the case.

Frost was also working for Lindbergh's boss Henry Ford c. 1926 Aside from their close friendship and ideological bond, when did Lindbergh work for Ford?

Robert Frost was an intensely private, introspective man. He tended to mind his own business, and I'm guessing this explains why he made no comment on the Lindbergh case.

Lindbergh wanted to serve his country after Pearl Harbor happened but he was not able to obtain any employment regarding the war effort and he was not welcome into the Army Air Corp, even as a volunteer. His good friend Ford stepped up and gave him a job at his Willow Run facility in Detroit, Michigan which was producing the B-24 bomber. Lindbergh reported to his new job in April 1942. I am not sure what this has to do with Robert Frost as Alan was tying it in with his post.

Ford produced his tri-motor engine for the airplane in 1927 and Lindbergh flew it and thereby promoted it in his famous Mexico City flight in 1929. He took Ford up for his first flight in the late 20's and examined Ford's air field circa 1927. So Lindbergh was in Ford's orbit as early as 1927, so when I call Ford Lindbergh's Boss let's expand the term to include politics, psychology as well as all things aeronautical & include the years from 1927 on.

Lindbergh wanted to serve his country after Pearl Harbor happened but he was not able to obtain any employment regarding the war effort and he was not welcome into the Army Air Corp, even as a volunteer. His good friend Ford stepped up and gave him a job at his Willow Run facility in Detroit, Michigan which was producing the B-24 bomber. Lindbergh reported to his new job in April 1942. I am not sure what this has to do with Robert Frost as Alan was tying it in with his post. Yes, after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, Lindbergh tried to return to the military and applied to have his officer commission re-instated. But having had previous disputes with the Franklin D. Roosevelt administration, which had the general feeling that Lindbergh was disloyal to the US and pro-Nazi Germany, Lindbergh was barred from the military. So his job with Ford enabled him to contribute to the war effort in a civilian capacity. BTW, the Ford Willow Run plant was NOT located in Detroit, but in Washtenaw County, about 30 miles from downtown Detroit. It is, according to the US Census Bureau, within the Ann Arbor statistical metro area, NOT the Detroit metro area. Now that the Ford plant in Willow Run is long gone, Willow Run is best known today for its airport. I think Alan was trying to make the points that Robert Frost had some historical connections to both Lindbergh and Henry Ford. But I don't think that either Frost or Ford was ever mentioned in connection with the LKC.

Does anyone know the fate of the brown Lincoln? Great link to Lindbergh's Franklin. I was not aware it was in the Ford museum. Your question is a great one! I wish I had an answer. Perhaps Michael might know something. I will do some checking around on this. I would really like to know what happened to that brown Lincoln!

Thanks Michael, for finding this! You are always the go to guy when it comes to this case. Interesting that Lindbergh did not keep his Lincoln very long. Bought in 1932 and traded in 1933. I actually wonder why he even bought such a status symbol type car to begin with.

Both Robert Frost and Henry Ford were members of Lindbergh's "America First" committee.
