Le Moine, Sauvolle 1671-1701
Royal governor; born in Montreal in 1671; accompanied the brothers Iberville and Bienville in their expedition to the mouth of the Mississippi River, and was appointed the first governor of Louisiana in 1699.
He was of feeble constitution; possessed brilliant talents, a remarkably fine personal appearance, and a large fortune.
Racine pronounced him a poet; Bossuet predicted that he would become a great orator; and Villars called him a marshal in embryo.
These promises were unfulfilled.
He died in Biloxi, Miss., July 22, 1701.
Logan, James 1674-
Statesman; born in Lurgan, Ireland, Oct. 20, 1674; was an accomplished scholar and linguist.
In 1699 he accepted the invitation of William Penn to become the secretary of his province of Pennsylvania; and when the proprietor returned to England in 1701, he left Logan intrusted with important executive offices, which he filled with zeal, ability, and good judgment.
He was chief-justice of the province.
On the death of Gordon (1736), so long the faithful guardian of the proprietor's rights, Logan, as president of the council, administered the government for two years. Logan was always the friend of the Indians.
At his death, near Philadelphia, Oct. 31, 1751, he left his valuable library of 2,000 volumes to the city of Philadelphia.
