George N. Whitman
George N. Whitman was elected to the Los Angeles, California, Common Council, the legislative branch of that city's government, in a special election on September 3, 1857, serving until May 10, 1858.〔''Chronological Record of Los Angeles City Officials,1850-1938,'' compiled under direction of Municipal Reference Library, City Hall, Los Angeles (March 1938, reprinted 1966). "Prepared ... as a report on Project No. SA 3123-5703-6077-8121-9900 conducted under the auspices of the Works Progress Administration."〕 As a resident of San Bernardino County, he was a member of the California State Assembly from the 1st District in 1859–60.〔(Political Graveyard )〕
On October 12, 1857, a mass meeting at the Pavilion on the Los Angeles Plaza was held in concern over the Mountain Meadows Massacre by Mormons and American Indians in Utah Territory. Whitman was elected chairman. The next day a resolution was adopted that called for "prompt measures" to be taken "for the punishment of the authors of the recent appalling and wholesale butchery of innocent men, women and children."〔(''Los Angeles Star,'' October 13, 1857, quoted at Mountain Meadows, University of Nebraska, Lincoln )〕
Whitman was elected captain of the San Bernardino Mounted Rangers, informally organized on March 29, 1859. When the unit was formally inaugurated on October 10, 1861, Whitman was first lieutenant.〔(J.M. Scammell, "Military Units in Southern California, 1853–1862," ''California Historical Society Quarterly,'' vol. 29, no. 3 )〕
