About this listen
There are many legends about the great Davy Crockett. In the movies people claim he could ride lightning, leap over rivers and fight wildcats with his bare hands. In the 2004 movie The Alamo, it is suggested that he was more cowardly than the legends, and if it was his choice, he would “slip over the wall” and escape. They also suggest that he only wore his famous coon skin caps because the actor who portrayed him did. Other stories claim he was an absolutely fearless warrior who loved a good fight.
Davy was a renowned bear hunter and Indian fighter, and of course, defender of the Alamo who died in about a dozen different ways, any of which made him worthy of the stories told about him. As with many famous deaths, there are those who claim he was never killed at all, but was captured by Santa Anna and allowed to live as a hostage.
This classic biography about the Scout, Davy Crockett, tells the story not only from excerpts of his own journal, but from the accounts of his contemporaries, combined with master storytelling. It has been the standard for learning about his life for generations. Prepare to experience the adventures of a man once thought superhuman, and in many ways, he was.
