Make Way for Sam Houston
Written by: Jean Fritz
Illustrated by: Elise Primavera
"This biography of the 19th-century hero captures his fascinating life. Fritz uses Houston’s belief in destiny to explain his interactions with other characters and responses to events. For example, Houston accepted Andrew Jackson’s vision of America because “now he had a picture and words for what he’d call Destiny” (p. 20). Houston considered the eagle a sign and allowed its presence to influence major decisions in his life."
