Sam Houston (Robbie Readers) (Robbie Readers)

By Harkins, Susan Sales

Publishers Summary:
Sam Houston did it all! He lived with the Cherokee Indians as a teenager. Then, he joined the Army and helped defeat the British in the War of 1812. Later, he served the Republic of Texas as its first President. Through it all, Houston was a man of honor. When the United States government failed to keep their treaty with the Cherokee Indians, it was Sam Houston who marched into Washington D.C., dressed in his Indian headdress. Sam Houston took the problem all the way to the President of the United States Andrew Jackson. As a man of honor, Sam Houston demanded the United States honor their promises. The only thing that rivaled his sense of honor was his love of Texas. Even his dying words were of Texas... Texas. Texas... he mumbled just before he died. An honorable man, an honorable life, and Texas is his legacy.
