5th Period
Childhood

 My dad, Major Samuel Houston, died in 1807.
 Shortly after, my mom moves everybody to
Maryville, Tennessee.
 When I was 16, I moved to live with the
Cherokee Indians. I lived with them three
years.

Cherokee Indians, and I wore colorful Indian
clothes to teach.
 In 1812, I joined the army. During the Battle of
Horseshoe Bend, I was shot in the leg with an
arrow. After a fellow soldier pulled it out, I kept
on fighting.

a lawyer in Tennessee.

Tennessee.
My Accomplishments
 On March 1,1836, I went to the Texas
Constitutional Convention. Mexico owned
Texas during this time, and many Texians
hoped that Texas could be an Independent
country. I worked with other leaders to write
the Constitution for Texas.

6, 1836. Unfortunately, all Texians inside the
Alamo were killed.

asleep to the San Jacinto River on April 21,
