    If the Civil War did not kill him the artificial colors in that drink certainly would have. They do not exist in nature.

      I don’t think that “Black Jack” would be caught dead drinking a ‘fluff-fluff’ drink like the one pictured in the ad. My guess is that Logan was a hard liquor man.

    The blue for his Union colors he wore proudly.
    The red for the Bloody Pond at Shiloh.
    The white….er, White Jack Logan?

      Our Black Jack Logan didn’t fight at Shiloh. The Col. John Logan you see in the order of battle is his cousin. Black Jack was still recuperating from his wounds from Ft. Donelson.

        Well thank you, Nancy!

        All these years and I was making that error…I had forgotten the Donelson wound.

        Love learning from peers!
