DAVY CROCKETT
1786–1836
 

A man from Tennessee, Davy, or David, was a frontiersman. This meant that Davy knew how to hunt bears.

Davy Crockett was a soldier in the War of 1812. He loved to tell a good ole story, which helped him to get some good jobs in politics. He ended up being several times elected into the US House of Representatives.

Davy didn't get re-elected in 1835, so he packed his raccoon-cap and went down to Texas, where he ended his days defending the Alamo against General Antonio López de Santa Anna and too many Mexicans.

Davy Crockett became a legend.
