A Tidbit of History about Chief Logan! Logan (American Indian leader) Logan the Orator (c. 1723?–1780) was a Native American orator and war leader born in the Iroquois Confederacy. Although he was of the Cayuga nation, after his 1760s move to the Ohio Country, he was sometimes referred to as a Mingo. His revenge for the killing of family members by American frontiersmen helped spark the 1774 conflict known as Dunmores War. Logan became famous for a speech, later known as Logans Lament, which he reportedly delivered after the war. Important details about Logan have been disputed by scholars, including his original name and whether or not the words of Logans Lament were actually his.
