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.

Review
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 )

4.0 out of 5 stars
Good political aspect of Sam Houston.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Sam Houston, the Great Designer (Paperback)
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.
