Kirjaudu LibraryThingiin nähdäksesi, pidätkö tästä kirjasta vai et. Ei tämänhetkisiä Keskustelu-viestiketjuja tästä kirjasta. Classic American story of the Old West frontier. A biography of Sam Houston, both heroic and adventuresome. This story is a semis character like Daniel Boone, Davey Crockett.. ( ) Texans love Texas and all things Texan. After moving to Texas 30 years ago, I was overwhelmed by the culture and baffled by the pride of so many of its natives. I reluctantly began reading this biography of Sam Houston, expecting to put it back down after reading a couple of chapters. What a surprise to find this volume absorbing both as a biography of a fascinating individualist and as a history of the United States, Texas, and Tennessee during the Jacksonian era. This is a must-read for anyone who is seeking a realistic feel for this era of history and who likes understanding how historic icons emerge. Sam Houston is someone I would love to have as a friend. ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu

"This is the stuff of which legend is made, this story of the making of Texas, and Houston is one with those semilegendary characters-- with Daniel Boone and Davy Crockett, with Marion the Swamp Fox and Ethan Allen.... In a sense he is too good to be true, this man who wrought such mighty deeds within the lifetime of our fathers and grandfathers; in a sense if he had not existed we should have had to create him." -- from the introduction by Henry Steele Commager Kirjastojen kuvailuja ei löytynyt. |
