To him the real people of the United States were the people of the Northwest and he could not believe that the Northwest, enterprising and prosperous as it was, would abandon its industrial activity and submit to the enormous sacrifices of a civil war. But the time came when he changed his mind. The story goes that he was sitting one afternoon on a hotel balcony overlooking Penn- sylvania Avenue when a brigade of Northwestern troops came by on their way to the front. It is said that Logan watch...ed them in silence and, after they had passed, sat for a while buried in thought. And then the light came to him as clearly and suddenly as it came to Saul on the road to Damascus. He saw now that the Northwest was in earnest. He saw that the Union could be saved and would 6 be saved, that the blood shed to save it would not be shed in vain, and that the only way to enduring peace must be cut with the sword. He hastened to his rooms and packed his trunk. He took the first train for home, He called on Southern Illinois to rise and Southern Illinois rose at his call and followed him into the Union Army.
