A Great and Public Man: Randolph B. Campbell's Sam Houston and the American Southwest This 3-page undergraduate essay is a book report of Randolph B. Campbell's Sam Houston and the American Southwest. This review claims that Campbell's chronological approach to Houston's public life provides good insight into the public and political climate of Houston's time, although the approach tends to push Campbell into depicting his subject as a very heroic and public man, perhaps at the expense of smaller and less flattering stories about Houston.
