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: Finalist for the Spur Award: The thrilling adventures of an American icon come alive in this vivid and authentic retelling of his remarkable story From humble beginnings in rural Tennessee to his heroic death defending the Alamo, frontiersman, adventurer, and politician David “Davy” Crockett embodies the spirit and ideals of the national character. Even during his lifetime, tales of the sharpshooting, skilled woodsman were—to his delight—told, retold, and elaborated on. As a US congressman, the former Creek War militiaman steadfastly opposed President Andrew Jackson’s Indian Removal Act. As a soldier, he made the ultimate sacrifice fighting for an independent Texas. Nearly two centuries after his untimely demise, he remains a legendary figure in American lore. In this fictional account of Crockett’s life, author Cameron Judd offers a nuanced portrait of the man behind the myth. He depicts Crockett’s triumphs as a hunter, cattle drover, warrior, and legislator in riveting detail and poignantly illustrates his subject’s hardscrabble youth and complicated relationship with his father. Meticulously researched and rich in vibrant action, Crockett of Tennessee captures the charisma, ambition, and bravery of the man known as the “King of the Wild Frontier.”
