Biographical History
Samuel Houston, Jr. (1843-1894) was the eldest of eight children of Sam and Margaret Moffette (Lea) Houston.
Born at Washington-on-the-Brazos, Texas, he attended Bastrop Military Institute (later the Texas Military Institute, Austin) but joined the Confederate Army in 1861 before he could finish. He fought at the Battle of Shiloh (1862). After his capture during the battle, he was incarcerated for several months at Camp Douglas. Upon the end of the Civil War, Houston studied at Baylor University in Independence and University of Pennsylvania medical school. He practiced medicine for a time before becoming an author, best known for a collection of articles and short stories, entitled Sam Houston's Rambling Rustlings. He married Lucy Anderson in 1875 and had three children. Upon her death in 1886 Houston moved in with his sister Margaret in Independence, Texas, where he died in 1894.
