Sword of Jacinto A Life of Sam Houston by Marshall De Brahl a sweeping narrative of the larger-than-life hero, Sam Houston. Drawing on archival material and documents in the Andrew Jackson Houston Collection of the Texas State Archives, the author has captured Houston and all his complexities. The book follows Houston as a frontiersman who lived among the Cherokee for years. It expands on his soldier life under Andrew Jackson in the War of 1812. Following up his soldier life, the book explores his life as a politician, congressman and governor, eventually becoming the first elected president of the Republic of Texas. But because of his loyalty to the Union and refusal of allegiance to the Confederacy, he was disposed of that position.
The author did not neglect his personal life either. His personal life is covered extensively.
