In the Alamo (Classic Reprint)

Angebote / Angebote:

Excerpt from In the Alamo I was born in Tennessee, and at the age of sixteen was taken by my parents to Texas. I was bred to the law and before my parents passed away I gave them evidence, let me hope, that I should succeed in a calling which had been selected for me by my father's ambition and my mother's pride. It is well known within the state, and may not be wholly forgotten in Washington, that I served two terms in Congress, where I talked for free trade and stood, as firmly as possible, upon the slippery ground of state's rights. And I believe, having had many positive assurances, that I could have won my way to a third term, but the lower house did not satisfy my ambition.
