Overview

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia · Read full article · Text CC BY-SA 4.0

Logan the Orator was a Cayuga orator and war leader born of one of the Six Nations of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy. After his 1760s move to the Ohio Country, he became affiliated with the Mingo, a collective term for Seneca, Cayuga, Lenape and other League peoples in Ohio. He took revenge for family members killed by Virginian long knives in 1774 in what is known as the Yellow Creek Massacre. His actions against settlers on the frontier helped spark Dunmore's War later that year.
