During the course of the last long and bloody war, Logan remained idle in his cabin, an advocate r peace. Such was my love r the whites, that my countrymen pointed as they passed, and said, 'Logan is the iend of white men.' I had even thought to have lived with you, but r the in­ juries of one man.
6. " Colo el Cresap, the last spring, in cold blood, and unprovoked, murdered all the relations of Lo­ gan, not· even sparing my women and children. There runs not a drop of my blood in the veins of any living creature. This called on me r revenge. I have sought it : I have killed many: I have lly glutted my vengeance.

Who is there to mourn r Logan ?-Not one."
