In the Footsteps of Davy Crockett shares the fascinating life of America's favorite frontier hero by taking you to 49 sites in 10 states plus the District of Columbia where Crockett's adventures are commemorated. He ran away from home, fought renegade Indians, hunted bears, campaigned for office, served in Congress, and died a hero in Texas. This book reveals a man who was even more interesting—and certainly more complex—than the myth surrounding him.
