John A. Logan was a Civil War Commander and the leader of the Army of Tennessee.  Now he is memorialized in a statue that is in the middle of Logan Circle, the anchor of one of Washington's most popular (and very cool) neighborhoods.  Whether you seek a turn of the last century brownstone ro a condo, you acn find it in thie wonderful neighborhood.

Hi Pat - This is really a great photo of a very impressive statue.  He looks very heroic, and your framing of this photo is gorgeous.

Hi Patricia,

 I am from Tennessee. Great men came from my state. Thanks for the article. I love to hear about our history. When I went to Washington DC and Virginia, I loved all the historical sites and the names of the streets and freeways were all right out of our history books.

With this being the 150th anniversary of the Civil War, this commemoration seems very fitting.

Pat,  That is such a cool statue.  I love all of the intricate details.  It is so nice to have history remind us of where we came and how we got here.

When a general appears on a horse, it means he was in battle.  Do you know what it means when one leg is lifted?  Or two?

Such awesome artistry Patricia! I 'get' this much better than some of the One Percent for Art that we see with the newer buildings in our area. Some of it looks like a kiddos Mothers Day kindergarten project while others are quite nice.
