David Crockett: The Lion of the West

David Crockett: The Lion of the West

"Vivid, Comprehensible . . . cuts through decades of mythmaking." â€•Texas Monthly
Popular culture transformed his memory into â€œDavy Crockett,â€ and Hollywood gave him a raccoon hat he hardly ever wore. In this surprising New York Times bestseller, historian Michael Wallis has cast a fresh look at the flesh-and-blood man behind one of the most celebrated figures in American history. More than a riveting story, Wallisâ€™s David Crockett is a revelatory, authoritative biography that separates fact from fiction and provides us with an extraordinary evocation of not only a true American hero but also the rough-and-tumble times in which he lived. 16 pages of illustrations
