Davy Crockett (fact Or Fiction?) [Library Binding]

Davy Crockett claimed he was half-horse, half-alligator, with a touch of snapping turtle. He could wade the Mississippi, leap the Ohio, and ride on a streak of lightning. Davy had a grin powerful enough to bring critters to their knees. He was The King of the Wild Frontier, a backwoods hunter who once killed 105 bears in one season. He even saved the world by twisting the tail off Halley s Comet. He fought with Andrew Jackson in the Creek Indian Wars. His funny, homespun style convinced voters to send him to the U.S. Congress three times. He died fighting on the walls at the Alamo, swinging his rifle like a club. So, what s fact and what s fiction? This book separates truth from tall tales and reveals the two Davy Crocketts one a myth, the other a real man.
