of Lewistown, Pennsylvania

— First Defenders - 1861 —

This militia company, organized in 1858, was one of five in Pennsylvania to answer President Lincoln's Call for Volunteers on April 15, 1861. They rendezvoused at Harrisburg April 17. On their way to Washington they marched through a hostile mob in Baltimore. As the first to arrive at the National Capital they became known as the "First Defenders." While quartered in the barricaded Capitol building President Lincoln personally greeted each man. Nearly all served throughout the war, 31 of the Logans becoming commissioned officers, two reaching the rank of General.
