Abstract:

Anna McNeill, the subject of James McNeill Whistler's painting, Whistler's Mother, was born in North Carolina. Though, McNeill's early life in North Carolina is largely lost to history, the author draws conclusions about the woman through the eyes of her son who left behind diaries, poetry, and portraits.
