From OG Vol. IV. Eleanor was the daughter of Charles Wetherby Whistler and the sister of Charles Watson Whistler. She was a member of the Adirondack 46ers and a doctor in New York. People would gather along the banks of the Adirondack lakes to watch her cast a fishing rod, and land her fly right in the mouth of a giant trout. Whenever my grandfather, to whom she wrote this letter, spoke about her, he'd shake his head, smile, and say the same thing: "Boy, was she a pistol."
