A BOY VOLUNTEER IN THE TEXAS STRUGGLES FORINDEPENDENCE, WHEN IN THE YEARS 1835–1836 THETEXAS COLONISTS THREW OFF THE UNJUST RULE OFMEXICO, AND BY HEROIC DEEDS ESTABLISHED, UNDER THE GUIDANCE OF THE BLUFF SAM HOUSTON, THEIR OWN FREE REPUBLIC WHICH TO-DAY IS THEGREAT LONE STAR STATEBYEDWIN L. SABINAUTHOR OF “ON THE PLAINS WITH CUSTER,” “BUFFALO BILLAND 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.
