He [General Sam Houston] was an officer in the same regiment [as the author's brother, who was Quin Hieronymus]--a young man of fine appearance, tall, erect, and well-proportioned, with agreeable manners. I remember him well, because my brother was much attached to him.
Thirty-five years afterwards I met him in Lexington, attending the funeral obsequies of Henry Clay. Time had dealt lightly with him; he had not lost his soldierly bearing, and seemed yet in the vigor of manhood though his hair and beard were frosted by the passing years.
