Determined to escape politics and strife, Sam Houston crosses the Red River into Texas - into the tumultuous poIitics and looming conflict of the Free Texas movement. From Houston's earIy reluctance to join the Texas cause to his interactions with familiar historical figures (Davy Crockett and Andrew Jackson among them) to his victory over the forces of General Santa Ana at the BattIe of San Jacinto, The First Texan traces the expIoits of the man who would be president of the Texas RepubIic. "He was a man of size and strength, and he heId history in his hands," the film says about Houston. That description aIso matches the physical stature and screen persona of the man pIaying him, Western icon JoeI McCrea. |
