Born in Rockbridge County, Virginia, Houston and his family migrated to Maryville, Tennessee, when Houston was a teenager. Houston later ran away from home and spent about three years living with the Cherokee, becoming known as Raven. He served under General Andrew Jackson in the War of 1812, and after the war, he presided over the removal of many Cherokee from Tennessee. With the support of Jackson and 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 Arkansas Territory.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 (2002 Topps Josh McCown Autograph Sam Houston State University Cardinals Rookie) found a new owner for $0.99 in October 2020.
