Sam Houston is the only name by which the man was known who was twice President of one RepubHc, a national Senator in two Republics and a Governor and Congressman from his adopt- ed State of Tennessee, and the simple story of his life makes romance pale before the truth of history. Born in poverty in Virginia, March 2, 1793, his family moved to Tennessee when he was only 13 years of age and settled in the wilderness to rear their log cabin home and supply their frugal wants by tireless in- dust...ry. Although denied educational advantages in his boyhood, he had learned to read and was a tireless student with an un- flagging love for adventure. Before he reached manhood he joined the Cherokee Indians and lived with them for several years, but when yet in his teens he returned to Tennessee, taught a country school and was enabled to take a single session at Maryville Academy. Soon thereafter he enlisted in the regular army, served under Jackson in Indian warfare and suffered sev- eral severe wounds in a desperate engagement with the Creeks, one of which never entirely healed.
