James, Marquis
The raven: A Biography of Sam Houston Marquis James - Indianapolis The Bobbs - Merrill Company 1929 - 489 p.
About one hundred years ago there emerged from the West a new and exhilarating figure - the gifted young Govenor of Tennessee. His story, even then, seemed fanciful. Scion of a distinguished Virginia family, he had left college to roam with the Indians, by whom he was named The Raven, adopting their garb, their language, their life; claiming for his share of the ancestral estate only a copy of the Iliad and a rifle which he carried into the wilderness.
