Uncle Rick Reads Davy Crockett

Davy Crockett! The very name has thrilled young American hearts for generations. His long rifle, his powder horn, and his coonskin cap have come to symbolize the wild and exciting era that made him famous. The boy who grew up in a primitive log hut survived a hundred hair-raising adventures before finding his way to Washington D.C., representing his Tennessee neighbors as “The Coonskin Congressman.” No writer of fiction could match the amazing true story of Davy’s experiences as a hunter, Indian fighter, soldier, and explorer.  Even the many tall tales that were told of him during and after his lifetime were hardly less believable than the actual facts. Here is the King of the Wild Frontier in all his buckskin-clad glory.
