I have just finished "Lions of the West" by Robert Morgan which has a number of biographies on those involved in the war with Mexico. I would hesitate to judge any by current standards they including Houston were men of unique times. The press then was partisan in ways we would be surprised at. What is noted is how Houston and others were intelligent enough to be able to change their positions to benefit the country. I hope to read more on Houston, Kit Carson and Gen. Kearny soon.
