David Crockett
David Crockett was born in Green County, Tennessee near the mouth of Limestone Creek on the Nolichucky River (Hause, Early Life page). John and Rebecca Crockett's son was born on August seventeenth 1786. David's grandparents were killed by the Creek and Chickamuga Indians before he was born. His uncle James Crockett was held captive by the same Indians until David's father found him and was forced to purchase him back (Early Life page). David's father purchased several different plots of land while David was growing up. Buying land was an easy way to erase debt apparently (Shackford, page 6). You could hold on to it until the value was raised, cut and sale lumber or charge people to hunt on the land. John Crockett purchased a plot of land right down the road from Carson Newman College. Almost three hundred acres bordering Mossy Creek on the edge of Jefferson County were purchased for fifty shillings per hundred acres. The land was owned by the Crockett family until 1794 (6). David started school around the age of thirteen. He had not been there to long before he got into a fight with bully. After school David ambushes the bully and gets into another fight that the teacher had to brake up again. David skipped school
They finally arrive in Texas on January the fifth 1836. David's action packed stories of the frontier and cleaver jokes win over the crowds, and allow David to win his first election (Hause, Politickin'). The punch caused David to runaway from home (Early life). Six Disney film features were aired over the years (Hause, Sources). David returns home in 1822 because his term has ended (Politickin). the next day to try to avoid being punished but that just made it worst when David's father found out about the incident (Early life). After a few childish scenes with each other Colonel Cook withdraws from the race. Along the way the group meets up with some travelers who tell of Texas trying to making a push for unity from Mexico. While on a trip down the Mississippi River with 30,000 bear pelts David is nearly killed. David packs up his stuff and heads for Texas. David was easily elected or a Doctor Butler. He met a man during his stay named Marcus Winchester who took to David right away (Politickin). After this last term was up, David would never hold political office again. A local high school is named after him in Jonesborough.
