a foreign country. In 1800, the year Jefferson was elected president, Logan was elected to the U.S. Senate for a six-year term. Logan's reputation was decidedly mixed. With reference to his political activities, he was called at various times a "busybody" and a "great fool", but Jefferson considered him "the best farmer in Pennsylvania, both in theory and practice." Logan died in 1821, and not long afterwards Deborah Logan wrote an account of his life under the title Memoir of Dr. George Logan of Stenton, including excerpts from letters. It was published in 1899. See also Stenton (mansion) References Further reading Logan, Deborah Norris. Memoir of Dr. George Logan of Stenton. Frances A. Logan, ed.
