Pages : 356
Book Description
John A. Logan, called "Black Jack" by the men he led in Civil War battles from the Henry-Donelson campaign to Vicksburg, Chattanooga, and on to Atlanta, was one of the Union Army’s most colorful generals. James Pickett Jones places Logan in his southern Illinois surroundings as he examines the role of the political soldier in the Civil War. When Logan altered his stance on national issues, so did the southern part of the state. Although secession, civil strife, Copperheadism, and the new attitudes created by the war contributed to this change of position in southern Illinois, Logan’s role as political and military leader was important in the region’s swing to strong support of the war against the Confederacy, to the policies of Lincoln, and eventually, to the Republican party.

Pages : 66
Book Description
Meet the most famous man of the 19th century completely forgotten in the 21st, General John A. Logan. Logan was a congressman from Southern Illinois who often won elections with more than 80% of the vote. He was Mark Twain's favorite public speaker, President Grant's favorite volunteer General, Frederick Douglas' champion for civil rights, and Abraham Lincoln's nemesis who later helped Lincoln win re-election. Let us travel back in time to 1885. General John A Logan has recently won his third term as a United States Senator. The Senator from Maine, James Blaine ran as the Republican nominee for president with Logan as his vice president. They lost their election to Grover Cleveland, but there is a buzz that Logan will run for president in the next election. Papers across the country have picked up on the 'Logan Boom'. Formatted as an interview this book uses many quotes from actual newspaper interviews and speeches to introduce you to one of the most complex characters in American History and a King Maker in Washington. Brian "Fox" Ellis performs his one man show as General 'Black Jack' Logan at museums and Civil War re-enactments across the country. This book is based on a program that was originally commissioned by The Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum in conjunction with the General John A. Logan Museum. Fox is the author of more than twenty books including the critically acclaimed Learning From the Land: Teaching Ecology Through Stories and Activities, (Libraries Unlimited, 1997/2011), and this series of biographies, History In Person, and a series of folktales, Fox Tales Folklore. If you are interested in inviting him to your school, library, conference or museum, please visit his web site for more information: www.foxtalesint.com This book is part of a growing series of live performances available as audio-books, video, ebooks and print on demand paperbacks.
