Kentucky Biographer A. Scott Berg, author of the blockbuster best-seller Lindbergh, will be the next guest of the Kentucky Author Forum. Aviation giant Charles Lindbergh became the first person to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean in 1927, at the young age of 25. Immediately thrust into the spotlight and celebrated all over the world, Lucky Lindy would later be haunted by his immense fame when his infant son, Charles Jr., was abducted and later found dead. Berg spent nine years researching and writing the biography, delving into Lindbergh's beginnings as the son of a Minnesota congressman, his introduction to flight during his U.S. Army Air Corps training, and the repudiation he faced after being wrongly labeled a Nazi sympathizer. Master of Ceremonies is Keith Runyon, opinion and book editor of The Courier-Journal.
Event is free.
