James Logan

From: The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition | Date: 2008 | Copyright information

James Logan c.1725-1780, chief of the Mingo, b. Pennsylvania. He took his name from James Logan (1674-1751) and is frequently called simply Logan. He was a leader of the Native Americans on the Ohio and Scioto rivers. Logan was long the friend of the whites, but when his family was massacred by white settlers (1774), his attacks against them helped bring on Dunmore's War. Logan refused to participate in making the treaty, and his eloquent speech became famous. He served with the British during the American Revolution.
