This recently discovered daguerreotype of Sam Houston was made in the studio of
J. H. Stephen Stanley, Houston, Texas. It is believed to have been made in June of
1863, during Houston's visit to the city a few weeks before his death. Apparently
the family did not know of its existence because no mention of it is found in any of
the correspondence and there are no family stories about it. It was purchased at an
antique show in California by Houston scholar Floyd L. Bell, who recognized it as
Houston's likeness.
