Excerpt from Logan the Mingo The purpose of this narrative is to recount the events and achievements that make up the life story of Logan, the Mingo, in the order of their occurrence with a fullness and completeness t hitherto attempted. The author has used material from any records and writers freely without ackwledging the source in the text; but adds a bibliography of Logan literature and list of works consulted and drawn from which he hopes will be a due and adequate ackwledgement to each. The text itself more than suggests the original source of some of the subject matter. The North American Indians did nit have a written language and left literature to preserve their myths and ideals by recounting deeds of valor and chivalry of brave men and the devotion of beautiful maidens; and poetry to immortalize their Wise Men and Chiefs. Their history was written by their enemies and conquerors, peoples of different nationalities and of different culture and social ideals.
