His name was David Crockett. He never signed his name any other
way, but popular culture transformed his memory into "Davy
Crockett," and Hollywood gave him a raccoon hat he hardly ever
wore. Best-selling historian Michael Wallis casts a fresh look at
the frontiersman, storyteller, and politician behind these
legendary stories. Born into a humble Tennessee family in 1786,
Crockett never "killed him a b'ar" when he was only three. But he
did cut a huge swath across early-nineteenth-century America as a
bear hunter, a frontier explorer, a soldier serving under Andrew
Jackson, an unlikely congressman, and, finally, a martyr in his
now-controversial death at the Alamo. Wallis's David Crockett is
more than a riveting story. It is a revelatory, authoritative
biography that separates fact from fiction, providing us with an
extraordinary evocation of a true American hero and the
rough-and-tumble times in which he lived."
