While we have talked about the first military burials at Arlington as a national cemetery, we have not talked about the first overall burial on the grounds, back when it was still a plantation. The first person buried at Arlington was a women well known in Virginia and the region beyond thanks to the first cookbook published in the Americas, by an American, for Americans, The Virginia House-Wife.

Today's Ghost of Arlington is:

Mary Randolph (Section 2, Grave S-6)

The introduction and transition music heard on the podcast is composed and recorded by the eldest Ghosts of Arlington, Jr. While the rest of his catalogue is quite different from what he's performed for me, you can find his music on bandcamp.com under the names Caladrius and Bloodfeather.

As always, a very special thanks to the Commando Pando Cap Company for its continued help to spread the word about the podcast on Facebook at: https://www.facebook.com/MountainUpCapCompany Climb to Glory!
