註釋In a compelling account that won raves in The New York Times Book Review, historian John Hoyt Williams delivers a portrait of one of America's most colorful and prominent figures. Sam Houston's life as military hero and politician was filled with heated controversy and spanned a lifetime of dramatic roles, including battle-scarred soldier and officer, Indian agent, district attorney, congressman, governor, United States senator, and twice president of the independent Republic of Texas. Based on unpublished material from the Houston archives, this book reveals an ambitious yet troubled man whose failures as well as his major achievements define him as a legendary American.
