A great myth-busting story, written in a taut narrative style that is guaranteed to keep the reader up all hours turning the pages. --Martin Dugard, coauthor of the #1 New York Times bestseller Killing Lincoln (with Bill O'Reilly)Crack open the most in-depth, exciting portrait of Davy Crockett ever written, from acclaimed bestselling adventure-history author Buddy Levy. Inside is more than just the tale of the coonskin-cap-wearing frontiersman who heroically sacrificed himself at the Battle of the Alamo, but of the real man behind the King of the Wild Frontier myth. From a humble childhood and meager education, the legendary adventurer David Crockett led a distinguished life, winning three elections as a congressman and earning a presidential nomination. Buddy Levy reveals the fascinating truth of Crockett, beyond the newspaper spins and folkloric celebrity status, as a figure that both embraced and clashed with the identity of the American Old West. He was charismatic, down-to-earth, pioneering, independent to a fault, and his adventures have been warped beyond recognition by Hollywood hype. But in this beautifully written narrative, Davy Crockett emerges as never before: a rugged individual, a true American original, and an enduring symbol of the Western frontier.
