On September 5, 1912, Arthur MacArthur, Jr., a career army officer and the father of Douglas MacArthur, collapsed and died as he was giving a speech. His sudden death shook the entire MacArthur family. Decades later, Douglas MacArthur wrote: “My whole world changed that night. Never have I been able to heal the wound in my heart.” To discuss Arthur MacArthur's legacy and his death, we sat down with Charlie Knight, former Curator of the MacArthur Memorial, and author of Valley Thunder: The Battle of New Market and From Arlington to Appomattox: Robert E. Lee’s Civil War, Day by Day, 1861-1865.
