DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Excerpt from Reminiscences of a Soldier's Wife: An Autobiography To tell my own story is to tell that of my famous husband, General John A. Logan. Our marriage was a real partnership for thirty-one happy years. I shared his thoughts and plans no less when he was a senator than when he was a prosecuting attorney in southern Illinois. We were working in the harmony of a common purpose, whether I was in the kitchen improvising a meal for his friends when he was running for the legislature, or entertaining in Washington after his fame was secure and his influence nation-wide. With him I witnessed the stirring events in which he was a leader on the borderland of the Confederacy, where he raised his Union regiment. We were together whenever possible during the war. I travelled with him on his political campaigns after the war. Thus I came to know not only the eminent soldiers and public men of his time, but the men in the ranks who believed in him and followed him, whether to Vicksburg and Atlanta or in his political battles. Our tastes were the same; likewise our ambitions for the best attainments in life. We came of the same pioneering American stock. We were reared among the same surroundings of the Middle West when it was the frontier. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Not illustrated. 1907 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER VI. We arrived at Fort Riley, Kansas, after an uneventful ride across the alkali plains. I was heartily glad to go immediately into our own quarters; our furniture having been sent on from Fort Halleck before we left San Francisco. We got women to clean the quarters selected, and were rapidly getting settled, when the Colonel got a telegram ordering him to Leavenworth, the headquarters of the Department. On his arriving there, General Pope told him that he was to go to Fort Lyon, Colorado, in command of the post. Our things were all to be repacked and many of our steps retraced; the fatigue of the family and extra expense were things not counted. I needed a cook and housemaid, and knowing there were none to be had on the plains went to Junction City, close by, to look for them, going in all the shops and offering, at that date, very high wages, but could hear of no one; finally I decided to go and see the Catholic priest, as I knew he would be acquainted with all the young women in his parish. He received me kindly and took an interest in the matter, and when we left I took with me a young Irish girl named Mary 106 Broderick, whose brother was a farmer, and she had lived with him and his wife. The priest afterward sent me another excellent young woman named Sarah McDermott, Mary's cousin. The journey to Fort Lyon was full of interest. We went by the Atchison and Topeka Railway, which was then new. There had been heavy rains and floods, and we travelled slowly, seeing countless antelopes and buffaloes. The train actually stopped while some English and American tourists shot a few of them; it was most exciting. Dodge City was then the terminus of the road, a terrible little frontier town. On arriving we went to the hotel to remain...

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →In charming detail, she shares her courtship and subsequent marriage to a young prosecutor from Jackson County and the births of their children. She writes proudly of the Lincoln-Douglas debates in 1858 and her husband’s election to the Thirty-seventh Congress that same year. Logan tells of the coming of the Civil War and of her husband—formerly a Democrat and an enemy of Lincoln—casting his fate with the Union and raising a regiment in southern Illinois. She poignantly describes her brother’s defection to the Confederate Army, her life in war-torn Cairo, Illinois, and her horror at her husband’s severe war wounds. She recounts the battles, the political campaigns, and Lincoln’s reelection and subsequent assassination from her point of view—and, as the wife of a politician and general, hers is a decidedly privileged perspective.
