One of the last (and youngest) men in the cavalry to become a general officer. He was just a few months past his 24th birthday when he was commissioned a brigadier general on Feb. 15, 1865. His militia unit witnessed the bombardment of Fort Sumter.

Happy Birthday Brig. General Thomas M. Logan! Salutes remembering General Logan on his birthday.

One biography states that he was promoted to brigadier on Dec. 1, 1864,but never commissioned by the Senate. So he then reverted back to the rank of Colonel. Another biography states that it was on Feb. 15, 1865 but was approved.

His participation at the Battle of Bentonville was a strong but unsucessful charge.
