Sam Houston is a living legend in 1861. The hero of the Challenge of San Jacinto, he previously defeated Santa Anna to earn independence for Texas back in 1836. He had twice offered as president of the Republic of Texas, helped Texas sign up for the Union, and offered as senator and governor of Texas. Before settling in Texas, he previously been a hero of the Creek Conflict and governor of Tennessee. He had been friends with Andrew Jackson and Davy Crockett and have been adopted in to the Cherokee tribe, whose protection under the law he previously often defended and who acquired named him the Raven. Yet now, getting close 70 years of hard living, he detects everything he has fought to be torn asunder. Texas is becoming a member of the Confederacy, and Houston, a Unionist who may have been cast out as governor, quickly loses power, prestige, and friends. He could conceal in retirement, but such is not just how of a warrior. The Raven prepares for his most significant attack yet. He knows this battle will test his strength and beliefs. He knows he will need his better half, Margaret, to save him from his own most severe enemy - himself. And he knows this war, which will pit sibling against sibling, will also make an effort to separate Houston's family. What he doesn't know yet is the fact he will find help from long-dead friends and foes to help him sort out his life and regain his honor. Johnny D. Boggs, among the most honored Western authors of the 21st hundred years, brings one of Texas' best heroes to life, warts and everything, in a figure study and love tale of a man struggling for his country and legacy - but usually for his family.
