Author Description

This is the story of Thomas and Kate Logan as well as the story of antebellum America through the War and Reconstruction. Books on the American Civil War are legion; that was perhaps the most challenging obstacle in writing this biography of a Logan family member. The urge to use previously published material was undeniable and an obviously avoidable error. As much as I could, I used original source material to tell the story of a young couple's journey through the antebellum South, a war ravaged country and the rebuilding of a State, largely through their eyes and the eyes of their family.
