A biography of Sam Houston that examines his role as an American statesman. More
Reviews:
"Rarely does a book appear concerning a period so remote that should correct so much current error." --Marquis James, New York Times "Finally, let it be emphasized that Sam Houston--the national statesman, the skilled politician, the ever-so-human and many-sided man--walks and talks, man-like, in this biography." --Holman Hamilton, American Historical Review
This biography of Sam Houston goes beyond the romantic frontier life of the 'buckskin hero from Tennessee' to examine seriously his role as an American statesman.
