Synopsis

This is a lively effort to pierce the thick fog of Falsehood, calumny, ignorance, and legend surrounding the four years Sam Houston spent among the Cherokees in what is now northeastern Oklahoma, the broken years in Tennessee, and his advent in Texas on the eve of the War for Independence.–Virginia Quarterly Review

About this title

Review:

"Professor Seale has drawn a fascinating and well-rounded portrait of the introspective wife of a dynamic American hero and has also provided insight into a private side of Sam Houston as a gentle, protective husband and father."
