Davy Crockett has been America's best-known folk hero for at least
160 years. This informed biography by James Atkins Shackford first
appeared in 1956, at the height of the television-inspired Crockett
craze. As Michael Lofaro notes in his introduction, "Shackford
faced the monumental task of rescuing a nearly unknown David
Crockett from the obscurity caused by the popularity of the earlier
legendary Davys and deepened by Disney." He succeeded memorably,
restoring David Crockett of Tennessee, a true pioneer and colorful
figure even without romantic trappings.
