This collection consists of six letters and two newspaper clippings dealing with George Logan and his service with the 24th Wisconsin Volunteer Infantry during the American Civil War.

Logan wrote these letters to his sister, Ann, and his brother, William, between September 3, 1862 and January 14, 1863. The letters to Ann cover a wide variety of topics. He speaks to her of money that he has sent home, who in the regiment is sick, what he has heard of various mutual friends, and troop movements. The letters to William (who was serving with Company E of the 46th Wisconsin Volunteer Infantry) tend to cover more overtly military topics. For example, George speaks to him extensively about various commanders and their styles along with his generally negative opinions of these officers' abilities. These letters also include various pieces of gossip about mutual friends, news of the 24th Wisconsin, and well wishes.

This collection also contains two newspaper clippings. One gives the lyrics to a poem entitled “De Massa Ob De Sheepfol'” and the other describes the observance of the anniversary of the decoration of the graves of the honored dead [both Union and Confederate] in St. Louis, Missouri, on June 12, 1877.
