Its present vigor is no more than the usual embarrassing precocity of the natural born...
...mission to the Indians of Teras. Jackson remarked: "Thank God, there is one man at least in Texas who was made by the Almighty and not by a tailor." Indeed, Houston looked it: 6 ft. 3 in. in moccasins, straight as an arrow, with deep, flashing eyes, high forehead, dressed like a frontiersman in leggings, hunting shirt and coonskin...
