George Washington Whistler-- Part 1: William's Brother, John's Son

From Wikipedia.

Keeping it in the family since I have been writing about both John Whistler and William Whistler the last couple weeks.  I was unable to find out if he had any involvement in the War of 1812, but if he did, he would have been very young.

1800-1849.  Prominent American civil engineer in the first half of the 19th century.

Member of a noted military family, USMA graduate and served in the U.S. Army.

Railroad and locomotive builder.  His shops produced the first-known steam locomotives in the United States known to have a whistle.

Kind of a Whistler's Whistle, You Know.  Sorry  --Brock-Perry
