Abstract:
A hundred years ago Dr. W. G. Poole of Elizabeth City was called to treat an aged women while vacationing on the Outer Banks at Nags Head. As payment, he was given a portrait of a young lady, later identified as the only daughter of Aaron Burr--Theodosia Burr. Her disappearance along the coast of North Carolina remains a cloaked mystery although the portrait served to make her legendary on the Outer Banks.
