@TracesofTexas I went to school with one of Sam Houston's grandsons or great nephews. When we were studying the war, he brought Sam's swords for show and tell.

Sam Houston Jr., born on May 25, 1843, at Washington-on-the-Brazos, Texas, was the eldest of eight children of Sam Houston, the famed leader who served as president of the Republic of Texas, and his wife Margaret Lea Houston. He was the only one of the children born while Texas was still an independent republic, prior to its annexation by the United States in 1845. Home-schooled initially by his mother and with the help of tutors, young Sam attended Bastrop Military Institute (later known as Texas Military Institute) and also studied at Baylor University. In 1861, against his father's wishes, Sam Houston Jr. enlisted in the Confederate States Army as a private in the 2nd Texas Infantry Regiment, Company C (Bayland Guards). He saw action at the Battle of Shiloh in April 1862, where he was severely wounded by a minie ball; remarkably, a Bible carried in his pocket deflected the bullet and saved his life. Captured afterward, he endured nearly six months as a prisoner of war, including time at the notorious Camp Douglas in Illinois, before being exchanged and returning home. Following the Civil War, Houston pursued higher education, briefly returning to Baylor University before entering medical school at the University of Pennsylvania in 1867. He earned his medical degree and practiced medicine for some years in Texas towns. However, he eventually abandoned the profession in favor of writing. He authored articles and short stories, with a collection titled Sam Houston's "Rambling Rustlings" becoming a noted, if rare, example of Texana literature. In 1875, he married Lucy Anderson of Georgetown, Texas; the couple had three children before her death in 1886. After his wife's passing, a saddened Sam Houston Jr. moved to Independence, Texas, to live with his sister Margaret. He died there on May 3, 1894 (some sources note May 26), at age 50 or 51, and was buried in the City Cemetery at Independence. My reading of his life is that he never really escaped his father's shadow, but I might be mistaken. It could be, for example, that the wound he received in the Civil War left him physically weakened for the rest of his life.

Simple poll. Please be honest! As of today, how much do you still trust this man? A. 100 % B. 75% C. 50% D. 25% E. 0%

Just so I’m clear, Democrats rush drivers licenses to illegals who can not speak or read English. But, say black Americans can’t get an I D because Republicans are racists! Did I get it right?
