Minty and I traveled 1.86 miles round trip to the Woodlawn Cemetery, which is known as a historical landmark. This cemetery is dedicated to John A. Logan, who was a significant political figure from Southern Illinois. He was born on February 9, 1826 in Jackson County, Illinois. He became a prosecuting attorney here and eventually became a War Democrat in 1864 for Abraham Lincoln's re-election. After the war, he became a Republican and was elected into the U.S. Senate as he was one of the leading spokesman in Congress. He was re-elected in 1885 just before his death on December 26, 1886. Altogether, Minty has traveled 2,428.86 miles.
