Previous Episode: #7: Arlington Enters the 20th Century AKA Fighting Joe Wheeler - Confederate General, American General

Next Episode: #9: Known but to God (The Story of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier)

Eeek! The podcast was plugged by Doctrine Man, himself. How cool is that?!?! A screen shot is absolutely on the website. Also, we didn't quite make it to the story of the Unknown Soldier like I thought we would - but next week for sure. We do talk about the plans - and the planner - behind the construction of Washington, DC, the first US military aircraft, and the Great War.

This week’s Ghost of Arlington are:

Army Brevet Major and Captain Pierre Charles L'Enfant (Section 2, Grave S-3) Army First Lieutenant Thomas Selfridge (Section 3, Grave 2158)
