It was while serving in this capacity that Crockett earned his reputation as a first-rate scout, which added to his already established reputation as a crack shot. Like many volunteers serving in militias, Crockett also had to concern himself with protecting his wife, his children, and his land from roaming Indian war parties and gangs of frontier renegades who used the distraction of wars to attack and pillage those left behind. It was in these skirmishes that Davy Crockett distinguised himself. It was a chaotic and dangerous time on the frontier, and Davy Crockett and his family seemed to have a ringside seat in the midst of the action." from the back cover. 600 1 $a Crockett, Davy, $d 1786-1836 $x Fiction. 941 $a 1 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20220913015259.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=B4AEBD48332911ED9E74557829ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b BUPInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
