Even as a child, Davy Crockett "always delighted to be in the very thickest of danger." Better known to us as "King of the Wild Frontier," Davy Crockett was not only a frontiersman but also a politician who became a celebrity and a folk hero during his lifetime. Here, in his own inimitable style, he describes his earliest days in Tennessee, his two marriages, his career as an Indian fighter, his bear hunts, and his electioneering.

Let me begin by saying I am passionate about history. I love the lifestyles of the bygone eras. I love how tough and yet how simple life was. Sleeping under the stars was a regular life for some. Traveling the lands was the life for others. The book you are about to listen to is in the public domain. And for that, I am thankful. That way, I can keep it as much to the original as possible.

This account of Crockett's last days at the Alamo is from his autobiography, the best authority we have.

The subject of stage plays, books, movies and one of the most popular television series of all time (with a theme song that millions of Americans can instantly sing along with from the very first word), he really was the King of the Wild Frontier. And he was so much more.
