American Legend: The Real-Life Adventures of David Crockett Paperback - 2006
by Buddy Levy
THE REAL KING OF THE WILD FRONTIER
David Crockett was an adventurer, a pioneer, and a media-savvy national celebrity. In his short-but-distinguished lifetime, this charismatic frontiersman won three terms as a U.S. congressman and a presidential nomination. His 1834 memoir enjoyed frenzied sales and prompted the first-ever "official" book tour for its enormously popular author. Down-to-earth, heroic, and independent to a fault, the real Crockett became lost in his own hype-and he's been overshadowed by a larger-than-life pop-culture character in a coonskin cap.
Now, American Legend debunks the tall tales to reveal the fascinating truth of Crockett's hardscrabble childhood, his near-death experiences, his unlikely rise to Congress-and the controversial last stand at the Alamo that mythologized him beyond recognition. In this beautifully written narrative, Crockett emerges as never before-a rugged individual, a true American original, and an enduring symbol of the Western frontier.
Summary

BEFORE THE MYTH AND LEGEND of Davy Crockett surfaced there lived the real man, David Crockett, born August 17, 1786, "at the mouth of Lime Stone on the Nola-chucky river" in present-day Greene County, east of Knoxville, Tennessee.
