Born in Rockbridge County, Virginia, Houston and his family relocated to Maryville, Tennessee, when he was a teenager. Houston later ran away from home, spending about three years living with the Cherokee, becoming known as "Raven." He served under General Andrew Jackson in the War of 1812; afterwards, he was appointed as a sub-agent to oversee the removal of the Cherokee from Tennessee into Arkansas Territory in 1818. With the support of Jackson, among others, Houston won election to the United States House of Representatives in 1823. He strongly supported Jackson's presidential candidacies and, in 1827, Houston was elected as the governor of Tennessee. In 1829, after divorcing his first wife, Houston resigned from office, and moved to the Arkansas Territory to live with the Cherokee once more.The most expensive item with a signature of Sam Houston (Sam Houston Land Scrip Signed Lot 53063) was sold in March 2015 for $13000.00 while the cheapest item (2018 SAGE HIT Autograph Black Jeremiah Briscoe RC Auto #A-17 Sam Houston State) found a new owner for $0.99 in September 2024.
