Sam Houston's Grave

Lil Dude Troll paying homage to Sam Houston at his grave in Huntsville, TX. A nineteenth-century politician, statesman and soldier, he played a pivotal roll in bringing Texas into the United States. Elected as governor of Tennessee in 1827, he came to Texas and was elected the 1st and 3rd President of the Republic of Texas. After Texas became a state, Houston was elected governor of Texas and became the only person to be elected governor of two different states. He was also the only person to serve as a governor of a state and also a foreign head of state (Republic of Texas).
