On March 6, 1836 one of the most well-known Americans of his time
fought and died in one of America's most celebrated battles. In
recent years the fate of David Crockett at the Alamo has become a
subject of controversy and debate. Did he die fighting? Did he
surrender? Was he executed? Today, conventional historical wisdom
dictates that Crockett was taken alive during the Battle of the
Alamo and executed with a handful of others on the direct order of
General Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna.
Death of a Legend explores the ongoing controversy and interest in
Crockett's death. It explains what we now believe to be the truth
concerning his death and how we came to that belief. It is an
examination of historical evidence as well as the historical
process itself. It provides a record of how Crockett's death has
been interpreted in history, literature, and popular culture down
through the years. It also shows that what we take for granted as
history sometimes may not be based in fact.
