Civil War/Illinois/American History
"A day-by-day account of Logan's activities, both political and military during the war. But the book is more than a chronology of Logan's life during this period. Unlike some one -sided campaign biographies of Logan that were published at the time, Jones's volume gives a fairly objective account of how the soldier and the politician were interwoven in this charismatic and complicated individual."
James Pickett Jones is Distinguished Teaching Professor of History at Florida State University.
