About the author
John Alexander Logan (February 9, 1826–December 26, 1886) was an American lawyer, Union Army major general, and politician from Illinois. He served in the Illinois legislature, the U.S. House of Representatives, and the U.S. Senate, and was the Republican nominee for vice president in 1884.
During the Civil War, Logan left Congress to serve in the Union Army, rising to major general and commanding troops in major campaigns, including Vicksburg and Atlanta. As commander-in-chief of the Grand Army of the Republic, he helped promote the observance of Memorial Day. His book The Great Conspiracy: Its Origin and History, published in 1886, offered his strongly partisan interpretation of the causes and course of the Civil War.
