Grandes Personajes en la Historia de los Estados Unidos

by J.T. Moriarty, Jesse Jarnow, Larissa Phillips

For many, Davy Crockett embodies the spirit of the American frontier. As a young man, he was famous for his fighting and hunting skills. Decades later, he died a hero at the Alamo, fighting for Texas's independence from Mexico. During the years in between, he was a nationally recognized political leader and representative of the frontier, and was known as a backwoods statesman who reveled in his own fame. The legend of Davy Crockett still lives on in songs, stories, and films. Primary source documents and images help define and explain this legendary hero and the time in which he lived.

[Luisa Knight · Rating 3 out of 5]

I appreciate that the author mostly just stuck to the facts, as it seems that many children's biographies often push an agenda. The book contains quite a number of historical photos that enhance the read and help increase your knowledge of Crockett's life and the times he lived in.
