In June 1812, as the war approached, Logan served as a guide for American General William Hull as Hull marched his men through Ohio toward Detroit. In July 1812, Logan visited Tecumseh at Fort Malden in Upper Canada in an unsuccessful attempt to convince him to abandon the British alliance. Historian John Sugden described the meeting:  General Hull's expedition to Detroit ended with his surrender in August 1812, which left American outposts like Fort Wayne exposed to counterattack. Indian agent John Johnston, stationed in Piqua, Ohio, recruited Logan to go to Fort Wayne and bring twenty-five women and children back to Piqua. Johnston then hired Logan to serve as a guide and scout for the American army.  On November 22, 1812,  he and two Shawnee companions, Captain Johnny (the younger) and Bright Horn, were captured by a mounted party led by Winamac, a Potawatomi war chief.Edmunds (2001), p. 344. After being escorted for several miles, the men tried to escape, and gunfire was exchanged. Winamec was killed and Logan was hit in the abdomen. He later died from the wounds . His body was taken to Fort Winchester, where he was buried with military honors. General James Winchester reported his death to General William Henry Harrison, and said " More firmness and consummate bravery has seldom appeared in the military theatre."

In July 1812, Logan visited Fort Malden in Upper Canada in an unsuccessful attempt to convince Tecumseh to abandon the British alliance. Historian John Sugden described the meeting: Thanks in no small part to Tecumseh's efforts, General Hull's expedition to Detroit ended with his surrender in August 1812, which left American outposts like Fort Wayne exposed to counterattack. Indian agent John Johnston, stationed in Piqua, Ohio, recruited Logan to go to Fort Wayne and bring twenty-five women and children back to Piqua. Johnston then hired Logan to serve as a guide and scout for a new American army, this time commanded by William Henry Harrison. In September 1812, Logan made another trip to Fort Wayne, passing through enemy lines. He reported back to the Americans that Fort Wayne was under siege, then guided Harrison's army to relieve the fort. Logan refused to participate in Harrison's punitive expeditions against nearby Indian villages after the fort had been secured, though he continued to scout for Harrison's army. In November 1812, Logan's party was scattered by a superior force while scouting near the rapids of the Maumee River. He escaped and reached the wing of the American army led by General James Winchester. There, some Americans expressed doubts about whether Logan and his Shawnee scouts could be trusted. On November 22, 1812, Logan sought to prove his reliability by leading another scouting mission back towards the rapids. Scouting on foot, he and two Shawnee companions, Captain JohnnyNot the same Captain Johnny as noted chief Kekewepelethy, but a younger man; Sugden (1997), p. 431 n.19. and Bright Horn, were captured by a mounted party led by Winamac, a Potawatomi war chief.Edmunds (2001), p. 344.
