Sam Houston was a man of many places.
He will be lastingly enshrined at one of them this weekend.
A bronze statue of the former Tennessee and Texas governor and adopted son of the Cherokee Nation will be dedicated Sunday afternoon at the Cherokee Removal Memorial Park near Birchwood, Tenn.
The statue is a smaller replica of a 7-foot sculpture standing on a base that was sculpted by Wayne Hyde and unveiled at a plaza in downtown Maryville, Tenn., this year.
