At the start of the Civil War Sam Houston was Governor of Texas and had previously been a US Senator from Texas, President of Texas (twice) as well as Governor of Tennessee (only person to be Governor of two states).
He was the only Confederate Governor to oppose secession and refused to take an oath of Allegiance to the Confederacy. Instead he resigned in March of 1861 and died in Huntsville Texas in 1863.
This image is a demonstration in restoration as much as it is colorization. I had this image request from a client for a book series earlier this week. It took a considerable amount of work to repair the damage and I hope that you are as pleased with the results as I am. I know that @Zuzah would be dead now (according to his recent post on the subject) if he had attempted this, but I wanted him to know that it does not kill you and I think the effort is worth the difference!
