Who Is There To Mourn For Logan?
Welcome to the official website of Joanne Golden, author of Who Is There to Mourn for Logan?, a powerful nonfiction history book that examines the tragic lament of James Logan, a Mingo leader, in 1774.
James Logan’s sorrowful speech came in response to the brutal murder of his family by white settlers during escalating tensions between Native American tribes and European colonists. Despite his previous goodwill and alliances with white men, Logan was forced to confront the harsh reality of betrayal and violence. His words, filled with grief, anger, and a profound sense of injustice, became one of the most haunting expressions of Native American suffering during the colonial era.
Through meticulous research and historical analysis, Joanne Golden explores not only Logan’s story but also the broader implications of indigenous displacement, colonial expansion, and the cycles of loss and revenge that have shaped history. Logan’s lament is not merely an individual’s outcry; it is a testament to the struggles of countless indigenous communities throughout history and their fight for recognition, justice, and survival.
