General 'Black Jack' Logan by Brian Fox Ellis Pdf

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.

Reminiscences of a Soldier's Wife by Mrs. John A. Logan Pdf

In charming detail, she shares her courtship and subsequent marriage to a young prosecutor from Jackson County and the births of their children. She writes proudly of the Lincoln-Douglas debates in 1858 and her husband’s election to the Thirty-seventh Congress that same year. Logan tells of the coming of the Civil War and of her husband—formerly a Democrat and an enemy of Lincoln—casting his fate with the Union and raising a regiment in southern Illinois. She poignantly describes her brother’s defection to the Confederate Army, her life in war-torn Cairo, Illinois, and her horror at her husband’s severe war wounds. She recounts the battles, the political campaigns, and Lincoln’s reelection and subsequent assassination from her point of view—and, as the wife of a politician and general, hers is a decidedly privileged perspective.

John A. Logan by James Pickett Jones Pdf

"James P. Jones ... uses newspaper accounts, private letters, and the records of Congress to examine Major General John A. Logan's return to his political and legislative career after the Civil War. Logan emerged from the national conflict a military hero and uncommitted to any political party ... By 1884 his personality and fiercely defended principles had earned him the vice-presidential nomination on the ill-fated Republican ticket. Many writers on this period have portrayed Logan as a corrupt politician, but Jones successfully clears the Illinoisan's record"--Description of previous edition.
