It took place in the Back pasture of my fathers farm near Canton miss., soon after Lindbergh a famous flight. I was 17 at the time. It should be noted that Lindbergh did not relish the publicity following his notable bight from new York to Paris. For this reason he always tried to land in out of the Way places alone and unrecognized. Late one afternoon i was on an errand for my Mother to a nearby neighbors farm and As i was Riding my horse across the Field i was fascinated to see a Small plane circling Over our Back pasture. As i Rode closer i watched the Little plane dip Down behind the Trees then land. As i approached i saw a tall lanky Man tying Down his biplane. Then he pitched a Small Pup tent under the Wing. The plane sat in a Small area completely dear Abby f surrounded by Pines we called it a the Hurricane area a Clearing left by a Long ago Hurricane. Three other local Fellows arrive on the scene about the same time. One gentleman or. Mead asked a a rent to you Charles Lindbergh a he received no answer but col. Of Tidberg handed or. Mead a grandson William a Pam Inlet describing the flight of the spirit of St. Louis. Lindbergh refused an offer to take supper and spend the night at the Meads saying he had to stay with his plane. Or. Mead later took some supper to the plane. A. During the night we had a bad thunderstorm causing the Field to become very Muddy. At Daylight i heard the planets engine Start As i was hurrying my horse to reach the spot. My family did. Not believe it could possibly be or. Lindbergh in the Field but nothing could have kept me from going Back to the plane which was a rarity to a country boy. When i arrived William and his Grandfather and three other men were there watching Lindbergh prepare to take off. The mud created a problem so he showed us All How to hang on tightly to both w Ings while he Reed up the engine. We were instructed to let Loose w Hen he waved his hand. The plane Shook mightily until at his wave we released our hold and away it went barely skimming the treetops As it took flight. When i reported at school that Day that Lindbergh had spent the night in our pasture no one believed me and i was labelled the biggest liar in school however the following Day the Jackson daily news reported Lindbergh a Landing in Meridian miss., at 8 . The previous Day for refuelling. He did not reveal where he had spent the night he just said head flown in from the West. What a great Day i had showing the paper to everybody at school. Many years later while i was serving As a Marine aircraft Mechanic in world War ii col. Lindbergh a came to our base As an adviser in converting our f-4u-1 aircraft engines to water injection systems. I was appointed to receive his instructions during which time i bad an Opportunity to ask him if lie remembered that night in the Mississippi pasture. He said he re Mem bored the boy on the White horse that terrible rainstorm and the millions of ferocious mosquitoes that bombarded him during what he called the a worst night of my  i too will never forget that memorable night. I met. Lindbergh Quot. Rea Gilpin Pine Bluff Ark
