This colorful biography brings to life the legendary statesmen, warrior, and friend of the Cherokee, Sam Houston. From running away and joining a band of Cherokees to avoiding classes at school to leading men into battle, Houston's larger-than-life and flamboyant personality is encapsulated in this life telling. Little-known facts about Houston--for instance, as a congressman he wore a vest made of leopard skin to remind everyone that he would not "change his spots" to do what is popular over what he felt was right--as well as his more famous endeavors and accomplishments, which include becoming a lawyer, a congressman, a governor, the President of the Republic of Texas, and an army general, are fully explored and revealed. Encouraging youthful readers to stick to their guns when facing life's challenges, this accurate history and compelling story also debunks the commonly held belief that Houston's flowing, smooth signature, which seemed to appear as "I Am Houston," is how he actually signed his name. A listing of web links for teacher activity resources is also included.
