About the author
Born in 1835, India W. P. Logan — expanded in library records as Indiana Washington Peddicord Logan — is chiefly known for writing Kelion Franklin Peddicord of Quirk's Scouts, Morgan's Kentucky Cavalry, C. S. A. The book was published in the early 1900s and centers on the life of her brother, drawing on biographical and autobiographical material.
Rather than building a broad literary career, Logan seems to have left her mark through this single family-centered historical work. That gives her writing a distinctive feel: it is less a polished literary project than an act of remembrance, preserving a brother's experiences and placing them within a wider Peddicord family story.
Reliable biographical information about Logan herself is scarce. Sources do confirm that she was born on December 15, 1835, and died on August 10, 1921, so readers approaching her book may find it most rewarding as a personal historical record shaped by someone with close ties to its subject.
