Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from True Stories of Great Americans: Sam Houston Curiously enough, to Americans outside of Texas, Sam Houston is rather vague and unconvincing. He has been grouped with Carson and Custer, with Boone and Crockett; but to the general reader Sam Houston is probably less familiar than any of them. Yet Houston was a notable personality. His life was full of adventure and romantic incident. He came to be the outstanding figure in a highly important phase of American history. He smacked of our soil and was peculiarly typical of times and conditions long passed but still of real interest. I have sought to give a vital picture of Houston himself and to set forth as fully as necessary the events in Texas in which he played so weighty a part. I may here acknowledge my general indebtedness to the labors of Garrison, Smith, and others. For myself, the more I have studied Houston, the more I have admired him. If such be not the experience of my readers, the fault, I fear, is mine. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
