Charles A. Lindbergh scrapbook, 1927.

The Charles A. Lindbergh scrapbook contains numerous newspaper and magazine clippings (both photographs and articles), relating Charles Lindbergh's 1927 transatlantic flight. In addition to following his record making trip, the clippings also cover celebrations of and awards presented to Lindbergh and his various goodwill trips, with a heavy focus upon his trip to Seattle. Most of the articles do not have dates on them, but they appear to have been collected in or around 1927. It appears the maker of this scrapbook lost interest in it, as near the end of the book many articles have not been pasted down and the last few pages of the book remain empty. The creator of this scrapbook left no personal markings to reveal his or her identity.
