Charles Lindbergh was born in Detroit, Michigan ,in 1902 but was raised on a farm in Minnesota, where his father was elected to the U.S. congress in 1907. From then on, he spent his boyhood alternately in Washington D.C., Detroit, and Little Falls, Minnesota. Because Lindbergh exhibited exceptional mechanical talent, in 1921 he was admitted to the university of Wisconsin to study engineering. How ever,the young man was seeking more challenging endeavors, and two years later he became a stunt pilot who performed feats at county fairs and public assemblies
