Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Life of General Houston: 1793-1863 Life of Andrew Jackson, his invaluable and perfect Life of Aaron Burr, and the fitting portions of Mr. H. H. Bancroft's History of the Pacific States of North America. The two Histories of Texas, by William Kennedy and by Colonel Henderson Yoakum, though far from good, are sufficiently valuable to require mention. I was unable or unwilling to undertake the six months' journeying through Tennessee and Texas, which would have constituted the ideal preliminary to a Life of Houston; but I have done the next best thing in coming here to avail myself of the unmatched resources and courtesies of the British Museum. I have to express my grateful obligations to my most honoured friend and master, Mr. James Parton; to Mrs. Maggie Houston Williams, Colonel a.j. Houston, and Mr. W. R. Houston, children of General Houston and to Mrs. Amelia E. Barr, Mr. F. D. Barker, Dr. Nathan Oppenheim, and Colonel T. W. Higginson.
