. Logan's Lament and the Mingo/Cresap Frontier Conflict Professor Robert G. Parkinson, Heart of American Darkness: Bewilderment and Horror on the Early Frontier

Professor Robert G. Parkinson's book Heart of American Darkness focuses on Logan's Lament, a famous 1775 document where Mingo chief Logan laments the 1774 murder of his family by "Colonel Cresap." Parkinson notes this is a misidentification; the actual killer was not a Cresap, though the Cresap family were powerful land speculators. Logan's father, Shikellamy, was an Oneida diplomat who partnered with James Logan, William Penn's secretary, establishing the origin of the Logan name. The frontier was characterized by shifting colonial borders (e.g., Maryland/Pennsylvania disputes) and escalating conflict with indigenous people.
