Wraps are not bent or folded; spine is not creased or split. 109 pp 8vo. This portrait of Sam Houston describes his role in the battle of Texas for independence from Mexico. The author's wit, sensitivity and understanding of young readers have won her numerous awards and honors. They have also granted her the ability to make history and historical figures come to life. This book chronicles the colorful life of Sam Houston from his boyhood in Virginia to his death in Huntsville, Texas. While this biography is not easy reading, and a knowledge of the Civil War is helpful in understanding Houston's story, Fritz tempers the complicated background material with amusing anecdotes. This thoroughly researched narrative is supplemented by writings and quotes by Houston and his acquaintances. A clean very presentable copy. Seller Inventory # 005026
