History for Kids: The Life of Davy Crockett

De: Charles River Editors

Narrado por: David Zarbock

The Wild West and the frontier have long held a special place in the narrative of American history, and of all the legends and folk heroes who lived in the 19th century, none became as famous as Davy Crockett, "The King of the Wild Frontier."

Crockett had the distinction of being a living legend in his own life. Known as a hardscrabble frontiersman who could spin a good yarn but who also took a no-nonsense approach that brought him from the backwoods of Tennessee to the halls of Congress. Though he served during the presidency of another Westerner, Andrew Jackson, Crockett was very much his own man, and he was distrustful of other politicians, a sentiment that has only endured him further to subsequent generations of Americans.

unbelievably bad

The "narrator" sounds like a robot voice as he speeds through with hardly a breath. The story runs through Davy Crockett's life spending the most time and detail on the battle of the Alamo - in which Crockett is barely mentioned.
very disappointed
