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.
