Abstract:

The second segment of a two-piece article written in an attempt to salvage the history regarding the careers of William A. Graham, Willie Person Mangum, George E. Badger, and Thomas L. Clingman, this article focuses on Thomas Clingman. An Asheville Whig turned Democrat, Thomas Clingman served seven terms in the House and two in the Senate. The last Senator to resign after secession, Clingman offered additional support in the fields of science and mountain exploration. (The first part of this article can be found in the previous issue, 15 July 1966, Vol. 34, No. 4.)
