Book excerpt: Excerpt from Guide to the Study of James Abbott McNeill Whistler Several years of Whistler's early youth were spent in Russia; his father, in 1842, having accepted the invitation of Emperor Nicholas to superintend the construction of the St Petersburg and Moscow railroad. Young Whistler came to America shortly, after his father's death in St Petersburg, in April, 1849. In 1851, at the age of 16 years and 11 months, he entered the United States military academy, at West Point, receiving his appointment as a delegate at large from President Fillmore.
