Haley explores Houston?s momentous career and the complex man behind it. Haley?s fifteen years of research and writing have produced possibly the most complete, most personal, and most readable Sam Houston biography ever written. Drawn from personal papers never before available as well as the papers of others in Houston?s circle, this biography will delight anyone intrigued by Sam Houston, Texas history, Civil War history, or America?s tradition of rugged individualism.--Amazon.com.
