Davy Crockett

According to legend, frontiersman Davy Crockett could "lick his weight in wildcats" and died at the Alamo only after killing hundreds of enemy soldiers. Did he always wear a coonskin cap and buckskins? Or was he just an ordinary man, a hunter and politician who usually dressed in everyday clothes and died like any other ordinary man at the Alamo? Find out in this book, which seeks to separate fact from fiction while exploring the life and death of one of the most colorful characters in American history.
