		In North Carolina, Thomas Lanier Clingman was hailed in old age as the "Prince of Politicians".
		Today, Thomas Clingman is remembered, if at all, because his name was given to Clingman’s Dome, the mountain he claimed to have climbed in 1858 and that he claimed to be the highest mountain in the Great Smokies.
		Clingman claimed that Mitchell had not identified the high mountain but a lesser one, Mount Gibbes, three miles south of it, and that the 1855 visit by Clingman was the authentic one.

	Clingmans Dome, Tennessee
		This mountain was named for Thomas Lanier Clingman, a prospector, and later a Civil War general and U.S. Senator, who extolled the wealth of timber and minerals of the region.
		Clingman set out to measure the mountain that he thought was the highest and later became embroiled in a dispute with Dr. Elisha Mitchell as to which of them had first measured the mountain in question.
		For several years, the trees in the Clingmans Dome area have been sprayed with an insecticidal soap, which is less dangerous than some of the pesticdes that were known to be effective against the insect but were too persistent and toxic to be used in the Park.
