Book Excerpt:

I passed on until I arrived in Sullivan county, in the state of Tennessee, and there I met with my brother, who had gone with me when I started from home with the cattle drove.

I staid with him a few weeks, and then went on to my father's, which place I reached late in the evening. Several waggons were there for the night, and considerable company about the house. I enquired if I could stay all night, for I did not intend to make myself known, until I saw whether any of the family would find me out. I was told that I could stay, and went in, but had mighty little to say to any body. I had been gone so long, and had grown so much, that the family did not at first know me. And another, and perhaps a stronger reason was, they had no thought or expectation of me, for they all had long given me up for finally l. . . Read More

An absolute delight. Davy Crockett’s writing is hilarious and engaging. He gives you real insight into one of the most engaging personalities of the American frontier, and there is no topic off-limits, from his love life, to his participation in the Creek Wars, to his presidential (!) aspirations.

Davy Crockett for President! Get us our deposits back. “If you don’t elect me, y’all can go to hell and I will go to Texas.”

A fun quick read, but I’d probably rather go with the Tall Tales from the Almnac. Davy clearly has his political aspirations in mind, though the story isn’t without value.

I thought this book was pretty entertaining. I enjoyed the hunting descriptions a lot, even though I'm not sure how exaggerated they were. David Crockett was definitely an interesting person. I read this book for a school assignment and wrote a small paper on him. Although I do think he might've bo

3.5. Very interesting. True look into the past. Can get hard to read at times due to different way of speaking . Not always straight forward. However, I over all enjoyed this book.

This is not the complete autobiography of David Crockett. This volume ends with Crockett again taking a seat in congress despite the efforts of Andrew Jackson partisans to defeat him in the election of 1833. In an act of apparent conscience, Crockett had opposed Ja

It's hard to rate this book. I found it very interesting in several ways. First of all it gave me a very different view of Davy Crockett. It also was interesting to see how people lived in that day from their perspective. The writing itself was pretty poor and sometimes hard to follow but I kind of

Well, this certainly was in his own words & I didn't care for the reader. His tone didn't fit Crockett's character at all. Kind of whiny & went up at the end of sentences - asking, not telling. Not horrible, just didn't fit.

This was written as a true autobiography to put to rest the many lies he sai
