4. Logan's Vengeance and Lord Dunmore's War Professor Robert G. Parkinson, Heart of American Darkness: Bewilderment and Horror on the Early Frontier
This section focuses on the multiple "bewildering" conflicts on the frontier as the Revolution began. Following the Yellow Creek Massacre, Logan, the former diplomat, became an avenger, killing nearly 20 people and deliberately slaughtering children in revenge for his family's deaths. This period coincided with Lord Dunmore's War, launched by the Virginia governor to assert colonial land claims against Native Americans, especially the Shawnee. When the Native Americans sought peace, Logan delivered his famous lament through translator John Gibson (who was related by marriage to Logan's murdered sister). The lament served as Logan's announcement that his personal vengeance was satisfied, ending his period of warfare.
