Maggie Houston: My Father's Honor

Printer Friendly Version

Publisher: Hendrick-Long Publishing
Author: Jane Cook
Illustrator: Janie Falcon

List Price: $17.95

Ages: 9-11 Years

Reviewed By: Deborah Deggs Cariker

 
Maggie Houston: My Father's Honor is a fine historical fiction story told in first-person/diary format from the perspective of General Sam Houston's second daughter, Maggie. The 175-page hardback book is durably bound and includes an Epilogue, a "Rest of the Story" section to tell your young reader what happens to the characters after the story's conclusion, and a bibliography for further study. Very readable, Jane Cook's style is conversational and even more appealing for elementary children since it's told from the perspective of a child. The book is a fun peek at the insides of 19th century politics, and could be used as part of a study of Texas history, American history, and slavery. Though not a religious book, the book mentions the Houstons' religious practices - Bible reading, prayer, and church - as a natural part of their lives. It also shows Houston as a man with three great loves: family, Texas, and the United States. His last words to his wife, Margaret, were: "Texas, Texas."
