207: KING ARTHUR & HIS KANGAROO COURT ON ‘HAIL TO THE CHIEF’

Is it just my imagination, or does President Chester Arthur (right) look a lot like television’s Captain Kangaroo?

Chester Alan Arthur, our 21st President, is one of the lesser-known Presidents in our history. As a matter of fact, Ol’ Elegant Arthur is so obscure that I’ve only been to two sites dedicated to him. One was Chet’s birth site, which my photographer had to trick his wife to drive 150 miles out of the way to see on July 10, 2017. And the second was his gravesite, which I visited just two days earlier just outside of Albany, New York.

But somehow, Tom managed to put together some information that helped bring to life Chester Arthur Presidency on our show ‘Hail to the Chief’. For a little over 14 minutes, you will be on the edge of your seat with facts about the man who owned over 80 pairs of pants and looked a lot like the ’60s television icon Captain Kangaroo.

Please click on the link below to watch the Chester Arthur episode. And while you’re visiting the Blue Water Healthy Living site, check out our other shows as well. And lastly, my photographer and I would appreciate it if you shared the link to ‘Hail to the Chief’ on social media. It helps our audience grow, even though we don’t make a dime from any of the shows. Thank you for reading this blog and for watching our show!

Thomas Watson

My name is Thomas Watson and I've been a U.S. history fanatic since I was 9 years old. In 2013, I decided to take my passion to the next level when I purchased a Thomas Jefferson bobble head with the sole intention of photographing that bobble head at Presidential sites. From that first day on July 10, 2013 at Spiegel Grove in Fremont, Ohio, this journey has taken on a life of its own. Now, nearly 40,000 miles later, I thought it was time to share the experiences, stories, and photos of Jefferson's travels. Keep in mind, this entire venture has been done with the deepest respect for the men who held the office as our President; no matter what their political affiliations, personal ambitions, or public scandals may have been. This blog is intended to be a true tribute to the Presidents of the United States and this story will be told Through the Eyes of Jefferson. I hope you enjoy the ride!
