EDWIN L. SABIN
WITH SAM HOUSTON IN TEXAS
eBook
( Aug. 12, 2020)
A BOY VOLUNTEER IN THE TEXAS STRUGGLES FOR
INDEPENDENCE, WHEN IN THE YEARS 1835–1836 THE
TEXAS COLONISTS THREW OFF THE UNJUST RULE OF
MEXICO, AND BY HEROIC DEEDS ESTABLISHED,
UNDER THE GUIDANCE OF THE BLUFF SAM HOUSTON,
THEIR OWN FREE REPUBLIC WHICH TO-DAY IS THE
GREAT LONE STAR STATE
BY
EDWIN L. SABIN
AUTHOR OF “ON THE PLAINS WITH CUSTER,” “BUFFALO BILL
AND THE OVERLAND TRAIL,” ETC.
Sam Houston should justly be regarded as a great American. He laid his course and steered by it utterly regardless of the opposition. Strong characters are known as much by the enemies that they make as by the friends that they retain. Whenthey launch into a course that they deem is right, they do not depend upon fair winds. They go ahead, if they have real faith. Threats, ridicule and dangers do not daunt them. Sometimes they may pause, to renew their courage; but they proceed again on the same line.
Such a character was Sam Houston. To his friends he was loyal; to his enemies he was unyielding; his ideals were high; and he loved his country.
