The story of David Crockett stands apart from all others in our history-a nebulous collection of traditions about a great array of facts. To the unnumbered thousands to whom his name is familiar he is often as unreal as the hero of a medieval romance or of Scandinavian mythology. This book will follow his history with close attention to dates, and without recognition of the impossible legends of many writers. This book is a further chronicle of the many doings of "Davy" in the East and in the new Southwest. The reader will be held spell-bound by his exploits as an Indian fighter, bear hunter, statesman and defender of the Alamo. And besides this, "Davy" has a way with him that compels the love and admiration of everybody. This book is a fascinating escape into a stirring time in United States history. Written on about a sixth grade level, it can be enjoyed by children and adults alike. It is hoped that this unpretentious volume may help to a better understanding of the life and motives of a man whose footsteps went into no dark places, and who died an honor to his countrymen-a hero sans peur et sans reproche.
