Senator Thomas Lanier Clingman, who was born in Yadkin County in 1812, graduated at the top of his class from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He served as a representative and senator, was a Whig and later a Democrat, and defeated his opponents in landslide elections. Clingman was a general during the Civil War. Clingman's Dome, one of the highest peaks in the Smoky Mountains, is named for him. He died in Morganton in 1897.

Abstract:
When the end of the Civil War deprived Zeb Vance of the governorship of North Carolina and left him penniless, he turned to the lecture platform to earn the money he needed to support his family.

Abstract:
William A. Graham, Willie Person Mangum, George E. Badger, and Thomas L. Clingman, men of high influence and public attainment, are often overlooked for their contributions to the history of North Carolina.

(This is a two part article. The following segment can be found in the next issue, 1 August 1966, Vol. 34, No. 5.)
