Captain Greg Waters will present a program on John A. Logan, one of the most prominent volunteer generals in the Union Army during the Civil War. Born near present-day Murphysboro, Illinois, Logan was a lawyer and politician before the war. At the outbreak of the conflict, he resigned his seat in Congress and entered military service, raising the 31st Illinois Infantry, which he initially commanded as a colonel. Logan fought with notable bravery at the Battle of Belmont in 1861 and rose rapidly in rank. By 1862, he had become a major general and played key roles in major Western Theater campaigns, including Fort Donelson and Shiloh, where he was wounded. He later commanded XV Corps in the Army of the Tennessee during the Vicksburg, Atlanta, and Carolinas Campaigns, and temporarily led the entire army following the death of James B. McPherson.
