My favorite Sam Houston anecdote (and like many if not most historical anecdotes probably apocryphal) is the one when he became a Christian in midlife. The preacher took him down to the river for baptism. When the ceremony was over, Houston asked the pastor "now what does this mean?" The pastor replied: "It means your sins have been washed down the river and into the ocean." Houston then said: "I pity all those poor fish."
