#December 8, 1841
#OTD James Logan, #California #Judge & #Creator of the #Loganberry, is born.

Morris Bishop wrote a #Poem called The #Legend Of The Loganberry, which tells how a #Rakish #Raspberry #Rebounded to the #Blackberry after being spurned by the #Rose:

Just to pain a #Sweet little rose
Lovers are very queer
He made a match in the blackberry patch
And ruined his own career.

And from that shameful mating
'Twas only temporary
Was born that #Wild, #Alluring child,
The lovely Loganberry!
