Ringgold's Whitman House is
famous for its connection to Union General and future President of the
United States Ulysses S. Grant. The house was built in 1863 by William
L. Whitman, a local merchant. Grant used the house as his headquarters
following the Battle of Ringgold and offered to pay Mrs. Whitman $50 in
U.S. currency. She declined and asked for Confederate money. Grant was
said to have remarked, "She certainly isn't whipped yet" |
