Sinopsis

&ldquo,David Crockett certainly was not a model man. But he was a representative man. He was conspicuously one of a very numerous class, still existing, and which has heretofore exerted a very powerful influence over this republic. As such, his wild and wondrous life is worthy of the study of every patriot.&rdquo, &mdash,John S.C. Abbott, Preface, 1874American historian John S.C. Abbott wrote David Crockett: His Life and Adventures (1874) as part of his American Pioneers and Patriots series. David Crockett (1786&ndash,1836) was an American folk hero, frontiersman, and Congressman representing Tennessee. Abbott describes Crockett&rsquo,s life from childhood to marriage, from fighting Indians to his adventures on the prairie, and to his disappointing experience as a politician. More than one hundred fifty years after its publication, this is still a very readable and fascinating book.
