RE: Houston connection
Nora Titone's My Thoughts Be Bloody goes into Sam Houston's friendship with Junius Brutus Booth a little bit. And according to her, they were indeed drinking buddies. In fact, as I remember she says that Junius was a teetotaler until he met Houston. But after running around with Sam for a while, alcohol truly became a demon for Junius. For those who haven't read it, it's a fascinating book in my opinion.

"The interment of John Booth was without trickery or stealth, but no barriers of evidence, no limits of reason ever halted the Great American Myth." - George S. Bryan, The Great American Myth
