The Down East Journal (11/04-05/11)

New Bern, NC – The Whistler's Mother is one of the most recognized paintings in the world, but few knew that the woman in the portrait was born and raised in southeastern North Carolina. On the Down East Journal, we talk about her life and experiences during the Civil War. And, a report on how negative parenting during an infant's first few months of life can have long lasting effects. Plus, the latest recovery from the pirate Blackbeard's flagship the Queen Anne's Revenge.
