Even as a child, Davy Crockett "always delighted to be in the very thickest of danger." Better known to us as "King of the Wild Frontier," Davy Crockett was not only a frontiersman but also a politician who became a celebrity and a folk hero during his lifetime. Here, in his own inimitable style, he describes his earliest days in Tennessee, his two marriages, his career as an Indian fighter, his bear hunts, and his electioneering. His reputation as a "b'ar" hunter sent him to Congress with an eye on the White House; but at the Alamo, he would cap off a legend that still holds Americans in its spell.©1923 Public Domain (P)2008 Tantor Royalty Biographies Funny Historical Political Biographies

The narrator was excellent and the story was interesting to someone enamoured with American folk heroes. If your looking for the tall tales or anything about the Alamo this isn't the book for you. It's just a simple biography with some funny sayings and a lot about his time bear hunting. Not the most in depth book, but a short and well read piece on a historical figure.

One of the American legends in his own words.

It was written well over 100 years ago in Kentucky!………. What are you expecting?, William Faulkner?

I wish to say that overall Mr.Reese did okay with his reading of Davy Crockett's story. For some reason I feel that he did not have the emotional connection needed to bring the story more to life. I realize that it was a challenge for him if you consider the fact that Mr. Crockett never truly had a complete education so I did give Mr. Reese credit for dealing with that challenge. I still feel though, That he could have put a bit more feeling in his reading to bring the story more alive.

Could have been read better.

It is so difficult listening to this audio book. I have so much trouble with the 2 pack a day for 50 year voice. I can't enjoy the book for thinking the poor guy is going keel over any minute. And his constant irrelevant inflection is the icing on the annoying cake. I wouldn't say a word if this were a volunteer reader, but I definitely would have gone with another professional.

ugghhh

This reminded me of the Adventures of Huckleberry Finn and Tom Sawyer. . but much more interesting because it is all true!
