Sam Houston

It became bigger and better then eventually when away because Texas joined the US.

Lee Horsley

Santa Anna was a member of the same band of the Comanche as the more famous Buffalo Hump. He was an important chief, though probably less influential than Buffalo Hump during the 1830s and 1840s. He was the first member of his band to visit Washington, D.C. He was originally, along with Buffalo Hump, a leader of Comanche resistance to Anglo settlement in Texas, especially during the period following the Council House Fight.

It was merely a name and had no special meaning among the Cherokee.

In 1863.

It's on the east side of I45. I believe its actually in Huntsville, Tx.

Sam Houston appointed five Secretaries of State during his service to Texas.

The first Secretary of State for Texas and appointed by Sam Houston was Stephen F. Austin. J. Pinckney Henderson was appointed the second and Robert A. Inion was Houston's third Secretary of State during his first term as the President of the Republic of Texas.

Anson Jones was the Secretary of State during Houston's second term in office and went on to become the last President of the Republic.

James Pinckney Henderson went on to become the first Governor of the US State of Texas and died while serving as a US Senator for Texas in 1858.

E. W. Cave was appointed to the office of Secretary of State of the State of Texas by Sam Houston when he served as the 7th Governor of the State of Texas.

It was not a nickname, but his Cherokee name when he lived among the indians.

Colonel James Fannin and about 350 of his fellow prisoners of war were massacred at Goliad.

He owned slaves, he opposed abolition and he failed to adhere to the terms of the Treaty of Velasco.

No, it is not. Sam Houston doesn't have a law school.

Sam Houston had a big impact on Texas. Without him Texas most likely wouldn't have ever joined the U.S, because we would still belong to Mexico. Later, Houston (The city) was named after Sam Houston. Without Sam Houston's involvement in the Texas Revolution, Houston would be named something else.

Austin, Stephen F Austin(uller) (1793-1836), early American leader of Texas. Born in Wythe County, Virginia, Austin grew up in the Missouri Territory and was a member (1814-1819) of the territorial legislature. In 1822 he founded a settlement of migrant Americans on a tract of land purchased by his father between the Brazos and Colorado rivers in Texas (then part of Mexico). In 1833 a convention of Texas colonists delegated Austin to persuade Mexican authorities to grant them self-government. Unable to obtain prompt action from the Mexicans, he wrote to the Texans from Mexico City, advising them to set up their own government without waiting for official approval. For this act he was imprisoned by the Mexicans until 1835, when he returned to Texas and assumed command of the settlers' army. In the same year, he headed a Texas delegation to the United States government in Washington, D.C., where he succeeded in obtaining financial and military support for the republic of Texas. In 1836 he ran for the presidency of Texas but was defeated by Sam Houston(1793-1863), American statesman and military commander, who led the fight for Texan independence from Mexico and later its admission into the United States. Stephen F Austin thereafter served as secretary of state in Houston's Cabinet until his death.

The Battle of Horseshoe Bend during the War of 1812 and the Battle of San Jacinto during the Texas Revolution.

He was 16 when he ran away from home because he did not wish to be a clerk in his brother's store.

He was usually seen wearing a business suit although he sometimes wore Cherokee Indian garb.

No. Sam Houston was buried in Oakwood Cemetery in Huntsville, Texas.

5 cents. Just kidding. They are not rare, about 50 to 60 cents mint condition UNCANCELLED. A cancelled Sam houston 5 cent about about 20 cents retail. yes, I was suprised too

the alamo

I believe that Sam Houston was shot on the left leg.

General Sam Houston did not yet have enough soldiers under his command to relieve the Alamo, so he sent orders for Colonel James Fannin to do it, as Fannin had the largest Texan force available at that time. Fannin complied with the order, but two of his wagons slipped their wheels, and he returned to Fort Defiance. After the Alamo was taken by the Mexican Army, Fannin surrendered Fort Defiance without a fight, whereupon he and his entire command were put to death by the Mexican Army; the infamous Goliad Massacre.

Although Fannin was one of the agitators of the Texan Revolution at Gonzales, he may have been too hestitant to engage Mexico after the Revolution began. He had only 400 Texan troops against 1500 Mexican troops. Houston, although he certainly wanted to help the Alamo, had not even as many troops as Fannin had. As the commander of an army which did not exist yet, Houston had to think strategically, which sometimes means cutting off a finger to save a hand. The Alamo was the finger, and Texas was the hand.

Never.
