Hi All, Am reading Reeve Lindbergh's book Under a Wing. If anyone puzzles over how (for instance) Cal took over the Kidnap investigation, read this book and puzzle no more. What an autocrat! I keep waiting to see if he will instruct his kids on how to inhale and then exhale! I recognize that back in that period there was a stronger thing of "instruct a child in the ways he should go", but CAL seems to way outdo that.I find Reeve's perceptions of her father quite interesting--both her love and her dread. Her perceptions of her Mother are interesting ,as well, I think. Next I will be diving into the Berg book.

Charles A. Lindbergh Sr. drew some serious attention from the (F)BI over his publication " Why Is Your Country At War?" Mairi, is there anything in Berg about this (my copy is boxed up at the moment). [NARA]

Hi Michael
The Berg book, pg49
"One day that spring (1918) several men presented themselves as government agents at the National Press in Washington, DC and announced that the printing plates of Lindbergh's Why is Your Country at War and Banking and Currency were to be destroyed because of their 'seditious' nature.There was never any official record of the incident or its perpetrators, but the goons did their job. The former title was reprinted a few years later, reset from one of the few hundred copies which had already been published and distributed in Minnesota."
Hope this helps.

Thanks Mairi! Here are two pieces of this puzzle which show there was a record of the events and that Berg's source (whatever it was) is apparently in error on both the dates and what really happened. The people Berg refers to as "goons" seem to have actually been FBI Agents who went there, not in the Spring but rather the Fall at which time the plates still obviously existed. Next we see that Lindbergh himself turned over the unsold copies: These reports are located at NARA.
