Sam Houston with the Indians gives insight how he lived with them, how they taught him their ways that were helpful to him. How he helped the Indians.
Describes the life and accomplishments of one of the founding fathers of Texas, from his childhood and early years as a soldier to his position as the first president of Texas and later its governor.
In 1819 to 1820 several hundred Cherokees-led by Duwali, a chief from Tennessee-settled along the Sabine, Neches, and Angelina rivers in east Texas. Welcomed by Mexico as a buffer to U.S. settlement, Duwali’s people had separated from other Western Cherokees in an effort to retain the tribe’s traditional lifeways. As Dianne Everett details in The Texas Cherokees, they found themselves "caught between two fires" in many respects: between the Cherokee ideal of harmony and the reality of factionalism, between white settlers pushing westward and western Indians resisting incursions, and between traditional ways and the practical necessity of accommodating to whites.
