"A great myth-busting story, written in a taut narrative style that is guaranteed to keep the reader up all hours turning the pages." —Martin Dugard, coauthor of the #1 New York Times bestseller Killing Lincoln (with Bill O'Reilly)
Crack open the most in-depth, exciting portrait of Davy Crockett ever written, from acclaimed bestselling adventure-history author Buddy Levy. Inside is more than just the tale of the coonskin-cap-wearing frontiersman who heroically sacrificed himself at the Battle of the Alamo, but of the real man behind the King of the Wild Frontier myth.
From a humble childhood and meager education, the legendary adventurer David Crockett led a distinguished life, winning three elections as a congressman and earning a presidential nomination. Buddy Levy reveals the fascinating truth of Crockett, beyond the newspaper spins and folkloric celebrity status, as a figure that both embraced and clashed with the identity of the American Old West.
He was charismatic, down-to-earth, pioneering, independent to a fault, and his adventures have been warped beyond recognition by Hollywood hype. But in this beautifully written narrative, Davy Crockett emerges as never before: a rugged individual, a true American original, and an enduring symbol of the Western frontier.
"Buddy Levy's Crockett proves that history can be as spellbinding and dramatic as any novel and as compelling as any reportage." – Peter Hoffer, Distinguished Research Professor of History, The University of Georgia
"Three cheers for Buddy Levy, who makes history into a real page-turner—a fascinating read." – Claire Davis, author of Season of the Snake
