This biography shares information from the interesting life of Sam Houston. Besides being a war hero, he lived among the Cherokee Indians for 3 years, was a lawyer and teacher, and eventually became the first president of the Republic of Texas. He also was married three times and had eight children.
This is an enjoyable book with wonderful illustrations. It is appropriate for elementary aged students and has an AR level of 4.8. My son enjoyed this biography and the battle images.
