Resumen del Editor

If you want to discover the captivating history of Davy Crockett, then pay attention...

If, as historian Thomas Carlyle said, the history of the world is but the biography of great men, then it is also true that the story of the great men is a parable of their times, places, and generational aspirations. The life of Davy Crockett, one of the most cherished and remembered American frontiersmen, is an accurate representation of the United States as it stretched westward to become one of the largest nations in the world.

Yet, David Crockett was not a mythical character but a very real person. Such was his mark in the process of westward expansion that, among hundreds of other frontiersmen, only he got the informal title of “King of the Wild Frontier” for posterity.

What is undeniable is that Davy Crockett was always faithful to his convictions, as he was guided by a deep commitment to justice, and above all, he was someone who always did what he thought was right, even running to aid his strongest political enemy, President Andrew Jackson, when someone tried to assassinate him. And that philosophy of life - doing the right thing no matter what - is much more than can be said of many others of his generation.

Surely! The Lion of the West

David Crockett was a charming man as well and gained his reputation as Davy Crockett. I travel an hour both ways to go to and from work therefore I listen to audiobooks was one of that absolute best!

5 Stars

Marvelous to see how he grew up and where and what things were normal life that today people would imagine they'd die from. I live in north Alabama and it was very exciting that he suggested places by name around here and south Tennessee that are the same today!

Great

Educational and fun to picture in your mind the results of the day without any modern insight. An agile and easy guide.

Great guide

Was very excited guide about Crockett's life in his own words. Would have favored the physical size of the audiobook be a bit smaller- being so large stopped me from taking it anywhere with me to know, but the top and paper quality are excellent.

I think it's pretty good!

I am a close dropping of Davy Crockett. I needed to purchase this book to teach my daughter about her great-great...grandpa. I liked the guide and the approach the writer explained his life story.

short and sweet

I was apprehensive about the length of this when I downloaded it. Turns out to have been about perfect. It tells the story of a near mythical figure from America's history by breaking through the myths and proving what facts do exist. Good job in all aspects.

A wonderful guide

While I have taken it with kindergarten and first grade, this book would also work wonderfully with older students and provide possibilities to compare and contrast, explain fantasy, the hero myth, and American History.
