Davy Crockett - King of the Wild Frontier

Born on the edge of the American frontier, Crockett grew up hunting, working, and surviving in a rugged, rapidly expanding nation. With little formal education, he still rose to prominence in Congress, through grit, storytelling, and powerful reputation. We trace his journey from backwoods hunter to congressman, where he clashed with then current political policies, standing on principle even when it cost him politically. Finally, we follow him to Texas and the fateful stand at the Battle of the Alamo. Interested in getting your own copy? Use our affiliate link and get 10% off.
