- Notes: first edition. "This is the first biography of Sam Houston, in large part autobiographical. Controversial since the day of its issue, it is still one of the basic sources of information on the life of Houston"--Jenkins, Basic Texas Books 126. "A work of some literary merit, but withal such a mixture of fact and fiction as to give it the stamp of a historical romance"--Raines, page 222. Howes L271, Sabin 40229.
