David Crockett, Scout (Illustrated)

David Crockett, Scout (Illustrated)

"Gunpowder was cash to Davy Crockett. Much of his life he lived by his rifle, hunting and trapping. And in the end, at the famous battle of Alamo, he died pierced by many bullets. He ran away from home at the age of thirteen and made his way from Tennessee to Maryland, where he saw the Yankee clipper ships come in the harbor at Baltimore, and almost became a sailor. He fought many desperate battles with the Indians and became, so famous throughout the State of Tennessee that he was elected to the Legislature. A colonel in the State Militia, he answered the call for men of Texas struggling for freedom and became one of the names blazoned in its hall of fame. No boy should miss the story of this daring pioneer who helped open the West in its wildest and most exciting days. . . . . It is hoped that this unpretentious volume may help to a better understanding of the life and motives of a man whose footsteps went into no dark places, and who died an honor to his race and his countrymen â€” a hero sans peur et sans reproche."
