Houston connection

[jonathan]

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.
