Jackson (“Old Hiekory”). His desperate valor and the frequency of his wounds attracted Jackson's attention, and the two became close friends. When the war ended, Houston, who had risen to a leutenancy, was falsely accused of neglect of duty.’ Though investigation cleared him, he * left the army In anger and studied law, Tennessee sent him to Congress in | 1823, where ho fought a ducl, wounding a political opponent. In 1827 he made Governor of Tennessee, and the future seemed very bright. He talked ‘of as a Presidential possibility and was the idol of his State, was Ther occurred Houston married a beautiful Southern girl) Miss Jf) Allen.

Turning hia back on a glittering politica! career, leaving family and friends, he lived among the Indians for the next three years, adopting their savage dress, language and customs.

Taking every advantage of position, he met the Mexicans on the bank of the San Jacinto River April 21, 1836. The 4") fight lasted less than an hour. “Remember the Alamo!” was Houston's battle-cry. The,Mexioans suffered a {earful defeat, losing 630 killed and 730 prisoners, Santa Anna was among the captured. Instead of finding himself a national nero for this feat, Houston, who had recelved a bad wound during the fight, was treated with the basest ingratitude by the civil authorities of the young nation whose freedom he had just secured. Indignant at such return for his heroism, he left Texaé and moved to New ©:9) Orleans. But the Texas people at large implored him to return, and he did so. In October, 1836, he became first President of the young republic. A He straightway butlt up finances and general prosperity and put the {if country on # sound basis, Scarcely had he done so than another man was ,.» chosen to succeed him as President. Instead of eulking, Houston served two years in the Texan Congress, and in 1841 was ¢ re-elected President, only to find that a rotten ad- if / Annexee co @* $ ministration had undone most of his reforms and United States, } Improvements and had left him the work to begin all over again.

And from the beginning he had tolled to annex rich Texas to the Union. When the United States authorities hesitated he : pretended to offer the Texas republic to a foreign power.
