John A. Logan Sr. did not receive the MOH. His son did. Check that fact.

[edit] Logan Did Not Win the Medal of Honor

John A Logan did not win the Medal of Honor, although his son did. The confusion arises from the fact that Logan did receive a gold "medal of honor" from his fellow officers of the XVII Corps for his gallantry during the Vicksburg Campaign. The medal he received was NOT what is erroneously refered to as the "Congressional" Medal of Honor. It took me many hours of research to unravel this mystery.
