In his short-but-distinguished lifetime, this charismatic frontiersman won three terms as a U.S. congressman and a presidential nomination. His 1834 memoir enjoyed frenzied sales and prompted the first-ever "official" book tour for its enormously popular author. Down-to-earth, heroic, and independent to a fault, the real Crockett became lost in his own hype-and he's been overshadowed by a larger-than-life pop-culture character in a coonskin cap. <br><br> Now, <i>American Legend</i> debunks the tall tales to reveal the fascinating truth of Crockett's hardscrabble childhood, his near-death experiences, his unlikely rise to Congress-and the controversial last stand at the Alamo that mythologized him beyond recognition. In this beautifully written narrative, Crockett emerges as never before-a rugged individual, a true American original, and an enduring symbol of the Western frontier. 244927 2005 American Legend: The Real-Life Adventures of David Crockett total:11|5:1|4:4|3:5|2:1|1:0| 11 38 24 2 4 0 false false Tue Jul 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Sat Jul 18 08:19:32 -0700 2009 Sat Jul 18 08:21:19 -0700 2009 ...more...]]> 3 0 false false Wed Apr 09 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Wed Apr 09 18:32:45 -0700 2008 Wed Apr 09 18:40:11 -0700 2008 more...]]> 3 0 false false Fri Nov 20 20:09:48 -0800 2009 Fri Nov 20 20:09:48 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Fri Nov 06 08:50:22 -0800 2009 Fri Nov 06 08:50:22 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Thu Nov 05 09:52:14 -0800 2009 Thu Nov 05 09:52:14 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Thu Nov 05 08:51:05 -0800 2009 Thu Nov 05 08:51:05 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Sat Oct 17 13:07:37 -0700 2009 Sat Oct 17 13:07:43 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Mon Sep 14 19:36:28 -0700 2009 Mon Sep 14 19:36:28 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue Sep 01 16:35:28 -0700 2009 Tue Sep 01 16:35:28 -0700 2009 2 0 false false Sat Feb 28 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Tue Jul 07 05:58:12 -0700 2009 Tue Jul 07 05:58:28 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Mon Jul 13 05:52:07 -0700 2009 Tue Jun 23 05:34:01 -0700 2009 Mon Jul 13 05:52:07 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed Apr 15 14:57:11 -0700 2009 Wed Apr 15 14:57:24 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri Apr 10 09:15:05 -0700 2009 Tue Apr 14 09:40:47 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Mon Mar 09 00:32:55 -0700 2009 Mon Mar 09 00:33:09 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Sun Jan 11 20:54:43 -0800 2009 Sun Jan 11 20:54:43 -0800 2009 4 0 false false Tue Aug 01 00:00:00 -0700 2000 Mon Dec 15 12:43:27 -0800 2008 Mon Dec 15 12:43:33 -0800 2008 0 0 false false Wed Sep 24 13:56:40 -0700 2008 Wed Sep 24 13:56:40 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Thu Aug 28 21:16:17 -0700 2008 Thu Aug 28 21:16:17 -0700 2008 4 0 false false Thu Aug 28 08:24:41 -0700 2008 Thu Aug 28 08:24:41 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Sun Jun 22 17:58:40 -0700 2008 Sun Jun 22 17:58:40 -0700 2008 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=252756
