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
