Produktbeschreibung
Small Boy, Pilgrim, Mountaineer, Soldier, Bear-Hunter and Congressman; Defender of the Alamo Chronicles the life of the pioneer hero, from his childhood on the Tennessee frontier, through his career as a three-term congressman, to his death at the Alamo in Texas. The story of David Crockett stands apart from all others in our history—a nebulous collection of traditions about a great array of facts. To the unnumbered thousands to whom his name is familiar he is often as unreal as the hero of a mediæval romance or of Scandinavian mythology. This book will follow his history with close attention to dates, and without recognition of the impossible legends of many writers. To accomplish this has required much reading and research, much weighing of evidence, and the help of others. The portrait of David Crockett, now for the first time published, is after the original in the Alamo, painted by the famous artist Chapman while Crockett was a Congressman. It is a picture that reveals the secret of his success in winning friends and fame.
