Requests:  0 Summary:  As with all great legends, Davy Crockett's has been retold many times. One could argue that there are three distinct Crocketts: the real David as he was before he became famous; the celebrity politician whose backwoods image Crockett himself created, then lost control of; and the mythic Davy we know today. Thompson follows Crockett's footsteps from the Tennessee river valley where he was born, to Washington, where he served three terms in Congress, and on to Texas and the gates of the Alamo, seeking out those who know, love and are still willing to fight over Davy's life and legacy.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Language, Literature & History 976.80409 Crockett Th Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kaimuki Public Library Adult Biography B Crockett Th Checked In Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Biography B Crockett Th Checked In Add Copy to MyList Waialua Public Library Adult Biography B Crockett Th Checked In Add Copy to MyList
