Evangeline Lodge Land Lindbergh (1876–1954) 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.”
