Paperback. Condition: Good. Perhaps no other figure in American history is more shrouded in myth and legend than David (Davy) Crockett, the Tennessee frontiersman whose death at the Alamo in 1836 insured his place in the Valhalla of American heroes.A gregarious, fun-loving man, Crockett was capable of spinning the tallest of tales, but the truth of his life was far more fascinating than the myth.
