The famous book Texas History Movies goes into great detail about Sam Houston's personal life and is the source for what I posted earlier. No Texas historian should be without this book, which taught generations of Texas schoolchildren more than they should have known. The period encompassed is from circa 1500 to 1928, when the book was first published. This is the one I have; get yours today - you won't be sorry!

Sam Houston was rumored to have a never-healing oozing wound that resulted from his early military service (and he was also badly wounded at the battle of San Jacinto), one which allegedly caused at least one of his wives to leave him. One of them did so virtually overnight, and Houston whereupon ordered his bodyguards to shoot anyone he heard discussing the various rumors why.

Apparently I missed some of the details when I forwarded her response. "Essential" meant "essential for the precision with which Mary does magic." The HP wikia has an entry for wandless magic. "Only the most powerful and disciplined wizards and witches were able to perform advanced wandless magic reliably. Transfiguration and charms were particularly difficult to carry out without a wand." Entering a sidewalk chalk painting seems rather advanced, yes? Recall too that Jane Banks was able to snap her fingers to help clean up, following Poppins' lead. In the Potterverse, magical children "typically have no control over this magic", and "According to Albus Dumbledore, it is unusual and even somewhat worrisome for a child to be able to control their magic before the age of eleven." Karen Dotrice, who played Jane, was no older than 9. The house elves and other magical creatures have their own form of magic.

5 seconds into the trailer at the cinema today, I knew it was this gem from Neatorama circa 2008. This movie is going to be so much fun and dramatic, too! Cheers, JC
