NY Times
Arthur Walworth, a writer on American diplomatic history and an author of a Pulitzer-Prize winning life of Woodrow Wilson, died on Jan. 10 in Needham, Mass. A native and longtime resident of Newton, Mass., he was 101.
His death was announced by Charles E. Holly, a partner in the Boston law firm Weston, Patrick, Willard & Redding.
Mr. Walworth began his study of Wilson at the advice of Arthur M. Schlesinger Sr. of Harvard. Searching for new sources, he spent 10 years scouring private papers, the official interpreter’s diary, the confidential stenographer’s personal notes and the like. He also gained access to previously unavailable materials at Yale and elsewhere, including the papers and unopened diary of Col. E. M. House, Wilson’s confidant.
