¹⁷Dr. Austen Fox Riggs, trained in surgery, later joined his father-in-law, Dr. Charles McBurney, in studying the work of Dr. George Gehring who believed that “organic illness is interwoven with emotional upheaval.” In 1913, Riggs began a formal practice of psychotherapy in Stockbridge, known as “not a sanitarium for the treatment of the psychoses (there were many of those), but a center for the treatment of the neuroses.” The Austen Riggs Foundation was formally established in 1919.

⁵The sad fact is that the answers already existed but were inaccessible to the American medical community. Not until 1928 did Alexander Fleming notice the antibacterial qualities of mold. This observation led to the discovery of penicillin, which was used to treat many disorders, including rheumatic fever. The association between this fever and heart disease was already known, and in 1945, penicillin became a life-saving treatment. Unfortunately, the cure was not on hand for Elisabeth. See Blake Cabot,

¹⁷Interview with Betty Gow.

¹⁸Anne and Charles were unaware that officials in Mercer and Hunterdon counties competed over the location of the estate. After the Lindberghs bought their property, each county vied for the right to call the Lindberghs their own. Hunterdon County won, even though most of the land was in Mercer.
