Davy Crockett
Davy Crockett is worldwide known as one of the best hunters, marksmen, and Indian fighters that ever lived. Throughout Davy's life, he was a very famous celebrity in the United States. Even after he died, every one was talking about Davy Crockett and his heroic exploits, whether they be about his Indian fighting, his bear hunting, his marksmanship, his place in Congress, his backwoods humor, his story telling, or of his heroic deeds in the Alamo, people just couldn't get enough of him. Every one knew about him and his deeds, and still today we hear of him. There are many books written about his life; biographies, his own autobiography, other factual books, picture books for children, and story books. Books aren't the only way we hear of Davy though, there are many movies about him and there was even a television show made about his adventures many years ago. Davy Crockett is one of America's most beloved frontiersmen ever, but not everyone knows his whole story. Davy Crockett was born on August seventeenth, 1786 in a cabin in Greene County, the backwoods of Tennessee. He was the fifth out of nine children born to Rebecca and John Crockett. Rebecca's maiden name was Hawkins, and her and her family moved to the United States fro
Davy walked seven miles in knee deep snow, in the dark to meet up with the wagoner. Davy was hired out to Abraham Wilson, and then to John Kennedy, whom his father owed money to. Davy and the wagoner got to talking, and the wagoner offered to bring Davy back to John Crockets tavern on his way past there. So he started out just wandering, not knowing to where to go. After they did reach the destination, Silers asked Davy if he would like to stay with him a while longer, and Davy agreed to. Davy often entered shooting matches, and always won. At one of the parties, an old Irish came up to him, and told him she had a sweetheart for him. For many years after he died, popular pamphlets known as Davy Crockett Almanacs were issued throughout the states. They went to the Alamo, which was a fortress commanded by Colonel William Travis. The wagoners felt very sorry for Davy, and gave him their spare change. Along their stops at taverns, Davy told more wa!goners about how he lost all his money to the bad wagoner. A year later Davy went to explore new land. Some of the neighboring women helped out Davy once in a while. Silers taught Davy how to hunt, shoot, and care for a rifle.
