A Narrative of the Life of David Crockett of the State of Tennessee

Davy Crockett has long been revered as an American folk hero. In this facsimile edition of his original 1834 autobiography, Crockett gives readers "a plain, honest, homespun account of my state in life," while editors James Shackford and Stanley Folsmbee author a critical introduction that traces his influence on American cultural memory and tracks his place among folk heroes of the ages.
