Abstract:
Born in Cary in 1855, Walter Hines Page became a journalist, humanitarian, and educator, and was appointed ambassador to England by President Woodrow Wilson. Although Page left North Carolina in frustration after he failed to rouse North Carolinians to social reform, he continued to love the state and was buried in Aberdeen, as he requested, when he died in 1918. The English considered him the greatest ambassador to the Court of Saint James. At his death, the king and queen of England sent notes of condolence; a tablet honoring him was placed in Westminster Abby and his portrait was hung in the Dartmouth House in London, England.
