Evangeline Lodge Land Lindbergh (May 29, 1876 – September 7, 1954) is best known as the mother of famed aviator Charles Lindbergh. Raised in a highly educated family, her father dentist Charles H. Land pioneered porcelain and gold teeth crowns and her uncle John Christian Lodge (1862–1950) was the 51st, 54th, and 56th mayor of Detroit. Swamped by international news reporters after her son's success flying the first solo crossing of the Atlantic Ocean, Evangeline said; "I am grateful. There is no use attempting to find words to express my happiness."
