Robert Henry Logan

Robert Henry Logan (July 10, 1839 – December 26, 1900)[1] was an American soldier and politician.

He was descended from James Logan, who had been a colonel during the American War of Independence.

After distinguished service with the 42nd Virginia Infantry under General John B. Floyd and later with the 27th Virginia Cavalry, Logan served as a staff officer to General Gabriel C. Wharton.

Having risen to a high command in the 45th Virginia Infantry by the end of the war, he returned to Salem, where in 1867 he was admitted to the bar.

He was Mayor of Salem on two occasions and was the town's attorney for twenty years.
