Sam Houston was a big man. He did big things for Texas. From the time he ran away to live with the Cherokee as a boy until he signed the Texas Declaration of Independence and led the Texans to victory at the Battle of San Jacinto, not everyone agreed with him. But Sam always stood firm in his own beliefs.  Sam Houston: Standing Firm uses simple language that allows children in primary grades to discover on their own the facts about Sam's colorful life and the important work he did for Texas as president, congressman and governor.
