Review Quotes: [Not without Honor] illuminates Texas politics during sixty-six years; Federal and Confederate politics from 1857 to 1891; but more importantly it traces with care and understanding the evolution of a barely literate Tennessee farm boy into a man who came as close as any Texan to the stature of a statesman.-- "Southwestern Historical Quarterly"
