Recenzii

Rarely does a book appear concerning a period so remote that should correct so much current error.

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.

This biography, the most nearly definitive that has yet appeared, suggests that Sam Houston must be numbered with the great.
