I appeal to any white man to say if ever he entered Logan's cabin hungry, and he gave him not meat; if ever he came cold and naked, and he clothed him not. During the course of the last long and bloody war, Logan remained idle in his cabin, an advocate for peace

James Logan (c.1725–1780)
"Born about 1725 died in 1780; his real name, Tahgahjute; by birth a Cayuga, but made a Chief of the Mingoes; lived for many years in western Pennsylvania; his family murdered by the whites in 1774; killed near Detroit in a skirmish with Indians."
The work this is from is sometimes called "Jefferson and the Indians/Logan's Lament", or better, "Logan to Lord Dunmore"

"In 1774, Chief Logan of the Mingo tribe delivered his eloquent speech on Indian-white relations. The speech was supposedly delivered under a large elm tree."

"Logan's Lament" was a speech delivered by a Native American in late colonial times, 1774. The English language version comes down to us, recorded in Thomas Jefferson's own hand.
Chief Logan was a Mingo leader in the 1700's who lived in what is now Ohio and West Virginia. Logan was notably friendly to the whites. His father had served as a peacemaker in Pennsylvania, and had taken the name "Logan".
In 1774, Logan's family was murdered by whites, who scalped their victims. The major chiefs met, and urged reconciliation with the whites, but acknowledged that Logan had a right to revenge. Logan took his revenge with a series of massacres as bloody as the one he had suffered. This precipitated Lord Dunmore's War. Other tribes were drawn into the war. Logan refused to participate in the peace settlement, but instead delivered "Logan's Lament", the text of which is believed to have been translated by his son in law, Gen. John Gibson. From Thomas Jefferson's notes:
