from primitive Indian life to* the gay

forty-three years later of Texas inde-
pendence. Sam began his strenuous
Mfe in a family consisting of his
father, who was a Revolutionary sol-
liter, his mother, a woman of powerful
physique and heroic character, five
* brothers and three sisters. When
Bam went to school, he drilled his
mates in military tactics and incident-
ally learned to read and write. When
be was thirteen, his father died, leav-
ing his sword to Sam.
The mother and her brood, in ox-
drawn wagons, crossed the Allegheny
mountains and settled near Maryville,
Tenn., Sam had found a copy of the
Iliad, in English translation and it so
engossed him that he practically
learned it by heart. With a soldierly
disdain for labor, he. refused to' work
as a clerk in Ute village store, as his
older brothers wished him to do, and,
taking his story of Achilles, he ran
away to the settlement of the Chero-
kee Indians, where he read. bunted,
- learned the Indian language and form-
ed lasting friendships. Thus he liv-
