Book Reviews of The Boyhood Diary of Charles A. Lindbergh, 1913-1916: Early Adventures of the Famous Aviator (Diaries, Letters, and Memoirs)

Book Review: Young Lindbergh drives a car around rural Minnesota in 1916
Summary: 5 Stars

These books use the diary entries as they originally appeared, word for word as they were written, with misspellings and mistakes in grammar. Lindbergh writes about boating down the Mississippi from its source at Lake Itasca and tracking wildlife. Detailed sidebars explain about Passenger Trains, the U.S. Congress, and Early Automobiles, complementing the diary entries with additional information. Books in these series go back as far as the diary of Sally Wister, a Colonial Quaker Girl up to Lindbergh, but of these dozen volumes the only other famous people are Louisa May Alcott and Theodore Roosevelt. This is certainly an interesting little series. I have read several books that try to give young students an idea of what life was like in different time periods, and these books do a much better job of that than any of those I have seen so far.
