Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book recounts a historical controversy that embroiled Thomas Jefferson and a prominent American Indian leader, Logan, in the aftermath of the American Revolution. The author, deeply concerned by accusations that he had fabricated Loganââ â¢s famous speech to further his own political agenda, launches a vigorous defense of his own integrity and seeks to establish the veracity of Loganââ â¢s words. Through the book, the author assembles a compelling body of evidence, including firsthand accounts, letters, and sworn testimonies, to prove the authenticity of Loganââ â¢s speech and the tragic events that inspired it.
