Young Davy Crockett hunted well and told stories beautifully. Crockett’s hunting prowess led to life as a soldier. He rose to the rank of colonel in his native Tennessee then segued into a career in politics. Crockett butted heads with President Andrew Jackson while a member of Congress. Losing his seat in Congress, Crockett joined the Texas Revolution and died fighting in the Battle of the Alamo. In his time Crockett was pro-environment and anti-corporations. Crockett’s daring and outspoken life was mythologized in his lifetime and since, making him an American folk hero. In this audiobook, editor Stephen Brennen organizes Crockett’s own words and musings on Crockett into a fascinating text. Narrator Lake Roberts brings the earthy and smart legend to ghostly life.
Fascinating story, brilliantly told
