Description
Excerpt from Life and Times of Henry Smith: First American Governor of Texas
A faithful record of the deeds of men, under the peculiar and trying circumstances which may have made them famous or illustrious, is more to be desired than the fulsome praises of partial friends; and pages that are to pass as history, should never furnish opportunity for personal enmity to vent itself. A reaction in either case is not the end desired by the seeker after truth in history. Nor need. There be any fear that fidelity to the truth of what shall hereafter be written will make less illustrious or less loved and admired, the names of those whose fame has been made imperishable, by all the tests which time applies to the actions of men.
