far distant.
At the end, his wife.

sweltering parlor of
Houston's steamboat-

Houston, bom in
Virginia, reared in
Tennessee, w as in his
early 50s w hen he came
to settle in the Huntsville
area in 1846, bnnging a
reputation for courage
and recklessness
On his list of accom-
plishments were terms as
US. representative and
governor in Tennessee;
victory at San Jacinto, two
stints as president of the
Republic of Texas, and
recent election to the L .S
Senate from lexas. On the

“He was a national
hero with a Texas reach."
says Michael Sproat, edu-
cation curator at
Huntsville's Sam
Houston Memorial
Museum, but almost no
one attended his funeral.
Time's passage Km
restored Houston to the
pantheon of Texas heroes,
and thousands of present-

Houston successfully
ran for governor in 1859,
selling his Huntsville
property’ to pay campaign
debts ami moving to
Austin. The term was
aborted in March 1861,
when, angered that
Houston would not swear
