Lincoln, Houston, & Texas

[LincolnMan]

Yes, the "Jackson man" to the end. Did not Jackson say something like "the Union, it must be preserved!" Actually, the story of Jackson and Houston's relationship would make a great book in itself- if not already written. Was Houston at Jackson's deathbed- or had he arrived at the Hermitage too late? By the way- as a side note- three of my ancestors served under Jackson at the Battle of Horseshoe Bend. One of them was Col. Stephen Copeland. I believe he was under Coffee's command.
