"I appeal to any white man if ever he entered Logan's cabin hungry, and he gave him not to eat; if ever he came cold and naked, and he clothed him not." Speech of an Indian Chief
While we were waiting for the Committee on Platform to report, there were quite a number of speeches by favorite sons of the different States, Senator Logan and Governor Oglesby, from Illinois, being among them. Senator Logan's speech is not very clear in my memory; but I do remember very well the speech by Governor Oglesby. He made a wonderful impression.
Nevertheless the expedition had really accomplished something, for it overawed the Wabash and Illinois Indians, and effectively put a stop to any active expressions of disloyalty or disaffection on the part of the French. Virginia State Papers. G. R. Clark to Patrick Henry. Logan's Expedition. There was little or no resistance, most of the warriors having gone to oppose Clark.
So I put a question to that end. "Have you heard some news?" I said. Bell's delight at being first in the field was evident. "Christian Logan's come intil a fortune!" she replied, with no little delight. "That is good news, indeed!" I cried impulsively. For Christian was, beyond doubt, one of the poorest of our neighbors, and the most deserving. "But where did the fortune come from, Bell?"
On their return from Harrodsburgh, Logan's party were fired upon, and one of the party wounded. The assailants were repelled with loss; and it was Logan's fortune again to be the bearer of the wounded man upon his shoulders for a long distance, exposed, the while, to the fire of the Indians.

And in two or three cases in which I put the matter to the proof, by speaking to the thief of the characteristics of the stolen composition, I found him quite prepared to carry out his roguery to the utmost, by talking of the trouble it had cost him to write Dr. Newman's or Mr. Logan's discourse.
Anderson had asked him if he had not himself added somewhat to the speech; he responded that he had not, that it was a literal translation or transcription of Logan's words. Jefferson MSS. Affidavits of Andrew Rogers, Wm. Russell, and others who were present. Clark's letter. See De Haas, 167. These are Smith's estimates, derived largely from Indian sources.
"If they had taken us to Boonesborough or to Logan's Fort and there had shown us to the settlers they could have demanded almost any price they might choose for our ransom." "Will they not do it yet?" inquired Peleg. "I hardly think so," replied the scout, shaking his head. "The Indians are like children in many ways.
