Customer Reviews

Good political aspect of Sam Houston.

Ok... so must books on Sam Houston are about his "heroic leadership of Texas." This book is mostly about his political career. I learned a lot of different things about Sam Houston.. for instance.. he's not much different from Bill Clintion... he had an affair and resigned from governorship!! Who knew? This is a great book to refer to when you're doing a term paper on him.
