Description
John A. Logan, called 'Black Jack' by the men he led in Civil War battles from the Henry-Donelson campaign through Vicksburg, Chattanooga, and on to Atlanta was one of the Union Army's most colorful generals. Perhaps the most capable of the political generals, Logan earned a reputation as a courageous efficient officer, rising from regimental to army commander.
