Book excerpt: "Few images of Jacksonian America capture its curiosities and contradictions so well as that of Congressman David Crockett, around 1833, fighting for control of his public image with none other than Davy Crockett, the King of the Wild Frontier. Largely responsible for this very nineteenth-century collision of myth and history was the present work, the Life and Adventures of Colonel David Crockett, of West Tennessee (1833), which was the first in a series of biographical and autobiographical books that thrust Crockett fully onto the national and international scene. Quickly retitled Sketches and Eccentricities, it was also the most outlandish of the type. Mixing two contemporary genres of storytelling-the Humor of the Old Southwest and the sketch-the work's rollicking story and canny, uneducated protagonist earned Congressman Crockett's disavowal within a year of its publication, but survived to launch a cottage industry of the Frontier hero after the latter's death at the Alamo"--

This book was released on 1987-01-01 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Even as a pup, Davy Crockett "always delighted to be in the very thickest of danger." In his own inimitable style, he describes his earliest days in Tennessee, his two marriages, his career as an Indian fighter, his bear hunts, and his electioneering. His reputation as a b'ar hunter (he killed 105 in one season) sent him to Congress, and he was voted in and out as the price of cotton (and his relations with the Jacksonians) rose and fell. In 1834, when this autobiography appeared, Davy Crockett was already a folk hero with an eye on the White House. But a year later he would lose his seat in Congress and turn toward Texas and, ultimately, the Alamo.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Vivid, Comprehensible . . . cuts through decades of mythmaking." —Texas Monthly Popular culture transformed his memory into “Davy Crockett,” and Hollywood gave him a raccoon hat he hardly ever wore. In this surprising New York Times bestseller, historian Michael Wallis has cast a fresh look at the flesh-and-blood man behind one of the most celebrated figures in American history. More than a riveting story, Wallis’s David Crockett is a revelatory, authoritative biography that separates fact from fiction and provides us with an extraordinary evocation of not only a true American hero but also the rough-and-tumble times in which he lived.

Download or read book David Crockett written by William Groneman and published by Forge Books. This book was released on 2007-02-06 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Perhaps no other figure in American history is more shrouded in myth and legend than David ("Davy") Crockett, the Tennessee frontiersman whose death at the Alamo in 1836 ensured his place in the Valhalla of American heroes. Crockett himself was responsible for much of the folklore about his life. A gregarious, fun-loving man, he was more than capable of spinning tall tales over a "horn" of liquor. The truth of his life, as William Groneman emphasizes in this book, was far more fascinating than the myth. David Crockett was a true self-made man who left home at the age of twelve. His adventures--hunting and exploring, serving as a soldier under Andrew Jackson in the Creek Indian War of 1813, a political career that took him to the United States Congress, an incessant search for "elbow room" that drew him to Texas-these were the real fabric of a heroic life. In writing of the "historical Crockett," Groneman, a world authority on the Alamo and its defenders, dispels the myths to uncover the genuine hero. He writes at length of the defense of the Alamo, describes how Crockett's reputation and heroism have been tainted by revisionist historians, and presents new evidence that the Tennessean actually left the Alamo during the siege to bring in reinforcements. Although safely outside the walls, he fought his way back in to rejoin his friends for the final, fatal, battle.
