Quaint Sam Houston and the Indian tract tale
Personal recollections depict Sam Houston in the senate wearing a blanket and whittling pine sticks, famed for his heroic stand against disunion and kindness. A tale from Illinois shows Houston buying back a farmer’s land by deed and then offering the money back, with a ride to Texas on a saddle horse. The ad at the end promotes North-Western Line land for sale in northern Wisconsin with 350000 acres and farm prospects.
