Across the wide expanse of the forty-eight states, millions of people are gazing hopefully at newspaper bulletin boards or leaning over their radios, anxiously awaiting the news that all goes well. But the Spirit of St. Louis carries no radio and the reports of progress, or disaster, can only come from eyewitnesses on the land or from ships at sea. In Detroit, his mother, Mrs. Evangeline Lindbergh, turns from her radio and through the front windows of her home she sees a large crowd gathered on the sidewalk. Across the nation many newspapers are carrying, as usual, the humorous comments of Will Rogers, and this is what he says: “No attempt at jokes today, folks. A tall, slim, bashful, smiling American boy is somewhere over the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, where no lone human being has ever ventured before.”
