Encyclopedia of Native American biography, 1997: pages 220-221 (James Logan; Tahgahjute; born at Shamokin, Pennsylvania. When a gang of white squatters massacred a camp of peaceful Native Americans at the mouth of Yellow Creek, Ohio in spring 1774 (possibly including some of his family), Logan presented a speech at a peace conference via an interpreter. This speech was popularized in the nineteenth century in the McGuffy's reader. His anger and grief led him to attack several white families living on Indian land. Murdered by his nephew in 1780 as they returned from a trip to Detroit.) |
