==Early life==
David Logan was born in the state of Kentucky on April 5, 1824.〔(Biographical Sketch of David Logan. ) ''Crafting the Oregon Constitution'', Oregon State Archives. Retrieved on June 23, 2014.〕 The family later moved to the town of Springfield, Illinois.〔Corning, Howard M. (1989) ''Dictionary of Oregon History''. Binfords & Mort Publishing. p. 151.〕 His father, Stephen T. Logan, practiced law as a partner with Abraham Lincoln in Springfield.〔〔(Stephen T. Logan. ) Abraham Lincoln Historical Digitization Project, Northern Illinois University, 2002. Retrieved on December 31, 2008.〕 David Logan studied law in Springfield under his father and Lincoln passing the bar in 1844 in Sangamon County. An anti-Democrat and Whig politically, Logan was to become a partner with Lincoln and his father in their practice before his drinking led to a falling out with his father.〔 Due to this falling out, Logan's father sent him to join the army and fight in the Mexican-American War.〔 David Logan also briefly moved to California. After Logan returned from the war, his father sent him to Oregon.〔
In 1850, Logan arrived in what was then the Oregon Territory and set up a law practice in Lafayette.〔 He moved to Portland soon after and continued practicing law.〔 The next year he ran for representative office in the Oregon Territorial Legislature for Yamhill County, but lost to Matthew P. Deady.〔 Logan and Deady would have a long-running feud, Logan's drunkenness would continue to plague him, and further troubles included accusations of the rape of a Native American girl.〔 On January 20, 1852, he represented the United States in a customs dispute with the Hudson's Bay Company at a court in Olympia, which was still part of the Oregon Territory at that time.
