In his short-but-distinguished lifetime, this charismatic frontiersman won three terms as a US congressman and a presidential nomination. His 1834 memoir enjoyed frenzied sales and prompted the first-ever "official" book tour for its enormously popular author. Down-to-earth, heroic, and independent to a fault, the real Crockett became lost in his own hype, and he's been overshadowed by a larger-than-life, pop-culture character in a coonskin cap. Now, American Legend debunks the tall tales to reveal the fascinating truth of Crockett's hardscrabble childhood, his near-death experiences, his unlikely rise to Congress, and the controversial last stand at the Alamo that mythologized him beyond recognition. In this beautifully written narrative, Crockett emerges as never before: a rugged individual, a true American original, and an enduring symbol of the Western frontier. 538 $a Mode of access: World Wide Web. 600 10 $a Crockett, Davy, $d 1786-1836. 610 10 $a United States. $b House $b House $v Biography. 650 0 $a Pioneers $z Tennessee $v Biography. 650 0 $a Frontier and pioneer life $z Tennessee. 650 0 $a Legislators $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a Soldiers $z United States $v Biography. 650 1 $a Frontier and pioneer life $z Tennessee. 651 0 $a Tennessee $v Biography. 651 0 $a Alamo (San Antonio, Tex.) $x Siege, 1836. 651 1 $a Tennessee $v Biography. 700 1 $a Abernathy, Chris. 710 2 $a hoopla digital. 856 40 $u https://www.hoopladigital.com/title/14596518?utm_source=MARC $z Instantly available on hoopla. 856 42 $z Cover image $u https://d2snwnmzyr8jue.cloudfront.net/ttm_9781666184556_180.jpeg 941 $a 1 952 $l GFPE771 $d 20220806012051.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=2E915468154D11EDB0B9073D48ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
