# Appletons' Cyclopædia of American Biography/Perkins, George Hamilton

Edition of 1900.
​PERKINS, George Hamilton, naval officer, b. in Hopkinton, N. H., 20 Dec., 1836. His grandfather, Roger, was an early settler of Hopkinton, and one of the most public-spirited citizens of that town, and his father, Judge Hamilton, was the founder of the town of Contoocookville, N. H. George was graduated at the U. S. naval academy in 1856, and became 1st lieutenant in 1861. He served with gallantry as executive officer of the “Cayuga” at the passage of Fort St. Philip and Fort Jackson, and at the capture of New Orleans in April, 1862, and with Capt. Theodorus Bailey (q. v.) received the surrender of the city, passing through the streets in the midst of a hooting mob, who threatened them with drawn pistols and other weapons. He became lieutenant-commander in December, 1862, was in charge of the gun-boat “New London” in June, 1863, and conveyed powder and despatches between New Orleans and Baton Rouge, ran the batteries at Port Hudson successfully five times, and on 9 July had a severe skirmish with the enemy at Whitehall's point. He was on blockading duty on the “Scioto,” of the Gulf squadron, from July, 1863, till April, 1864, and at that time was relieved, but volunteered at the battle of Mobile Bay. In his official report of that engagement Admiral Farragut said: “I cannot give too much praise to Lieut.-Com. Perkins, who, although he had orders to return north, volunteered to take command of the ‘Chickasaw,’ and did his duty nobly.” He remained in charge of that ship in the subsequent operations that resulted in the taking of Mobile, the reduction of Fort Powell, Fort Gaines, and Fort Morgan. He was superintendent of iron-clads in New Orleans in 1865-'6, became commander in 1871, was in charge of the store-ship “Relief,” to convey contributions to the French, from September, 1871, till January, 1872, and in 1882 was ​commissioned captain. See his “Letters,” edited and arranged by his sister, with a sketch of his life by Com. George E. Belknap (Concord, N. H., 1886).

Edition of 1900.
​PERKINS, George Henry, naturalist, b. in East Cambridge, Mass., 25 Sept., 1844. He was graduated at Yale in 1867, and in 1869 received the degree of Ph. D. there for post-graduate studies.

# Appletons' Cyclopædia of American Biography/Whiting, Samuel

Edition of 1889.
​WHITING, William B., naval officer, b. in Troy, N. Y., 13 Nov., 1813 ; d. in Milwaukee, Wis., 16 Dec, 1883. He was appointed a midshipman in the navy, 2 Feb., 1829, and cruised on the Pacific station in 1831-'4, principally engaged on surveys. He became a passed midshipman, 4 June, 1836, served on coast-survey duty in 1837-'43, in the frigate "Macedonian," on the coast of Africa, on surveying duty in 1843-'5, and at the naval observatory at Washington in 1845-'50, during which he drew plans of the defences of Vera Cruz pre- liminary to the expedition of the navy and Gen. Winfield Scott's army. He was again on the coast survey in 1851-'2, and cruised in the sloop "Vandalia," 1852-'6, measuring the coasts of China and Japan. He was placed on the reserved list by the notorious retiring board of 1855 because his entire service had been in surveying duty rather than the military duties of the naval profession. He was then attached to the U. S. naval observatory at Washington until 1871, where he rendered valuable services in astronomical work. In recognition of his scientific attainments, he was promoted to commander and captain in 1867, and to commodore in 1871. After this last promotion he was relieved from active duty.
# Appletons' Cyclopædia of American Biography/Whitney, Adeline Dutton Train

# Appletons' Cyclopædia of American Biography/Whitman, Sarah Helen

Edition of 1889.
​WHITMAN, Sarah Helen, poet, b. in Providence, R. I., in 1803; d. there, 27 June, 1878. She was the daughter of Nicholas Power, of Providence, and in 1828 married John W. Whitman, a Boston lawyer, after whose death in 1833 she returned to her native city and devoted herself to literature. Mrs. Whitman was well known for her conversational powers. She was an admirer of Edgar A. Poe, with whom, about 1848, she entered into a conditional engagement of marriage. Though it was broken off soon afterward, her friendly feeling for Poe did not cease, and inspired several of her poems, notably the elegy “Resurgamus.” Mrs. Whitman contributed to magazines prize essays on literary topics, including critical articles on European writers, and many poems, which have been admired for their tenderness, melody, and philosophic spirit. She published in book-form a collection of these, entitled “Hours of Life, and other Poems” (Providence, 1853), and “Edgar A. Poe and his Critics,” in which she defended her friend's character from harsh aspersions (New York, 1860). She was often called on for occasional poems, and one of these she read at the unveiling of the statue of Roger Williams in Providence in 1877. Parts of her “Fairy Ballads,” “The Golden Ball,” “The Sleeping Beauty,” and “Cinderella” (1867) were written by her sister, Anna Marsh Power. After Mrs. Whitman's death a full collection of her “Poems” appeared (Boston, 1879).
# Appletons' Cyclopædia of American Biography/Whitmarsh, Caroline Snowden

​WHITMARSH, Caroline Snowden, author, b. in Boston, Mass., 1 June, 1827. At the age of five she was hurried home from the Ursuline convent in Charlestown, Mass., by the mob that destroyed it, and afterward, being a delicate child, attended school but little. She has written and compiled about twenty-three volumes, chiefly religious and educational. In 1870 she married James Guild, of Roxbury. Her books include “Violet” (Boston, 1855); “Daisy” (1856); “Never mind the Face” (New York, 1856); and the “Summer-House Series” on scientific subjects (7 vols., Boston, 1859-'64). She has compiled “Hymns for Mothers and Children” (2 series, Boston, 1860); “Hymns of the Ages,” the first series with Mrs. Anne E. Guild (3 series, 1859-'64); and “Prayers of the Ages” (1867). — Mr. Guild's first wife, Anne (1826-'68), whose maiden name was Gore, was a co-worker of Miss Whitmarsh, and the author of “Grandmother Lee's Portfolio” (Boston, 1857).
# Appletons' Cyclopædia of American Biography/Whitney, Anne

Edition of 1889.
WHITNEY, Anne, sculptor, b. in Watertown, Mass., 2 Sept., 1821. She was educated by private tutors, and early manifested a love for poetry and sculpture, the latter becoming gradually an absorb- ing pursuit. Her poetical writings were collected in a volume entitled "Poems" (New York, 1859). In the same year she opened a studio in her native place, and subsequently making several visits to Europe, studied there four years, producing two of her best works during that time. On her return in 1873 she established a studio in Boston, where she has since remained. She has executed portraits and ideal works in groups, busts, medallions, and statues, including a statue of Samuel Adams, of which two copies, one in bronze and one in marble, are respectively in the capitol at Washington and in Boston (1863); “Roma” (1865); “Africa,” a colossal recumbent figure of a woman, illustrating the civil war in the United States (1873); a statue of Harriet Martineau, belonging to Wellesley college (1883); and the fountain of “Leif Erikson” (1886). The last was unveiled in Boston, 29 Oct., 1887, and the statue above the fountain represents the Norse-Icelandic discoverer of America as a man of physical beauty and vigor, in the costume of the ancient Scandinavian warrior. (See the accompanying illustration.)
# Appletons' Cyclopædia of American Biography/Whitman, Marcus

Edition of 1889.
​WHITMAN, Marcus, pioneer, b. in Rushville, Ontario co., N. Y., 4 Sept., 1802; d. in Waülatpu, Ore., 29 Nov., 1847. He was educated under private tutors, studied in Berkshire medical institution, Pittsfield, Mass., and in 1834 was appointed by the American board a missionary physician to Oregon. Dr. Whitman, Rev. Henry N. Spaulding, and their young wives, set out in 1836, and, journeying slowly westward, crossed the Rocky mountains by the South Pass through which John C. Frémont's party penetrated six years later. Mrs. Whitman and Mrs. Spaulding were the first white women to cross the mountains. On 2 Sept. the party arrived at Fort Walla Walla. Whitman had insisted on bringing one wagon with him despite assertions that the route was impassable for wheels, and by thus opening a wagon-road he led the way for emigration. The Hudson bay company's officers at Fort Hall, whose interest it was that no American settlers should be allowed to enter Oregon, and who had turned away many trains of intending emigrants, had vainly tried to dissuade him from his attempt. After several years' residence in the country, Dr. Whitman, seeing that the purpose of the British was to discourage American colonization of the territory by spreading reports of its inaccessibility and at the same time to fill it with English emigrants, resolved to visit Washington and lay the matter before the U. S. government. In October, 1842, the rejoicing at the English fort at Walla Walla over the approach of a large party of English colonists, and the knowledge that the Webster-Ashburton treaty was then under consideration, impelled him to lose no time, and he set out within twenty-four hours for the east on horseback after much opposition from his associates. With him were one companion and a guide, with three pack-mules. On 3 Jan., 1843, they reached Bent's fort, on Arkansas river, after undergoing many hardships, and soon afterward Whitman arrived at St. Louis, where he learned that the Ashburton treaty had been ratified already and that it left the Oregon question unsettled. On 3 March he was in Washington, where the information that he gave the government served to show how valuable Oregon was notwithstanding the efforts of interested persons to prove that it was inaccessible. Had it not been for him the United States might have given up Oregon to England as comparatively worthless. He was also earnest in his endeavors to show how easily it could be reached, and on his return in 1843 he led back a train of 200 wagons to the valley of the Columbia. Others followed in great numbers, and this “army of occupation” went far toward securing Oregon to this country. Four years later, Dr. Whitman, with his wife, two adopted children, and ten others, was massacred by the Cayuse Indians. See “Oregon: the Struggle for Possession,” by William Barrows (Boston, 1884).
# Appletons' Cyclopædia of American Biography/Whitmer, David

Edition of 1889.
​WHITMER, David, Mormon elder, b. in Harrisburg, Pa., 7 Jan., 1805; d. in Richmond. Mo., 25 Jan., 1888. He moved to Ontario county, N. Y., when a youth, and in 1829 was engaged in farming near Palmyra, N. Y., when Oliver Cowdery, the village school-master, told him that he intended to visit Joseph Smith and examine the alleged discovery of golden plates that bore upon their face curious inscriptions that no one could read. In June, 1829, Cowdery and Smith called upon Whitmer, and, by instruction from an angel of the Lord, as claimed by Smith, requested Whitmer to go into the woods near by. On reaching a secluded spot they all engaged in prayer, when suddenly a very brilliant light filled the space around them. A moment later an angel appeared, and also a table on which were several golden plates that they were told to examine. They were commanded to bear witness of their experience to the world. This they have done by prefixing a statement to each copy of the “Book of Mormon,” where it is stated that they, “through the grace of God and our Lord Jesus Christ, have seen the plates which contain this record, which is the record of the people of Nephi.” In June, 1838, Mr. Whitmer withdrew from the Mormon church, taking with him the original manuscript of the “Book of Mormon,” and settled in Richmond, Mo., where he resided until his death, a useful and respected member of the community. In 1887 he issued “An Address to all Believers in Christ,” in which, among his reasons for withdrawing from the Mormon church, were the ordaining of high-priests in 1831, the compiling of a book of doctrines and covenants in 1835, the publication of many revelations that were made, the organization of a band of Danites in 1838 at Far West, and the revelations that favored polygamy. He claimed to “believe in the doctrine of Christ as it is taught in the New Testament and the ‘Book of Mormon,’ the same gospel being taught in both these books.” In the "Book of Mormon" is a positive command that “not any man among you have save it be one wife; and concubines shall he have none; for I the Lord delight in the chastity of woman.” He was a faithful believer in Mormonism to the end, declaring during the last few hours of his life: “I want to say to you, the Bible and the record of the Nephites [the ‘Book of Mormon’] is true, so you can say that you have heard me bear my testimony on my death-bed.” He was the last of “the three witnesses” to the divine authenticity of the record of the Nephites. See “Early Days of Mormonism,” by James Harrison Kennedy (New York, 1888).
# Appletons' Cyclopædia of American Biography/Whitmore, Edward

Edition of 1889.
​WHITMORE, Edward, British soldier, b. in England in 1691; d. off Plymouth, Mass., 10 Dec., 1761. He was probably a son of Arthur Whitmore, of York, England. He served in the war of the Austrian succession, and was made lieutenant-colonel of the 36th regiment in 1747. He was promoted in July, 1757, colonel of the 22d regiment, and next year was made brigadier-general. He was at the siege of Louisburg in 1758, and, after the surrender of the town, was left there as military governor. On a voyage to Boston in December, 1761, the ship put into Plymouth harbor to seek shelter from contrary winds, and Gen. Whitmore, going on deck at midnight, accidentally fell overboard and was drowned. His body was taken up next morning near the “Gurnet,” and carried to Boston in the same vessel. On Wednesday, 16 Dec., he was buried with military pomp in the king's chapel. See Richard Brown's “History of the Island of Cape Breton” (London, 1869); Francis ​Parkman's “Montcalm and Wolfe” (Boston, 1885); and William H. Whitmore's “Old State-House Memorial” (Boston, 1887).
