Working as a farm hand and wagon driver, he learned about the people and the land of the West—and he was captivated. The untamed wilderness, the sound of wild animals, and the roar of the river would be his destiny.One of America’s best-known folk heroes, Crockett served as a frontiersman, a scout, a soldier, and a politician in the U.S. Congress. He died defending the Alamo, a steadfast citizen and heroic leader to the very end (1786–1836).

Good informing book. I had to read this book for a school report and somewhat enjoyed it which was suprising as i usually do not enjoy nonfiction books. Although some parts of the book were boring it taught me a lot about one of America's great heroes!......more
