He never signed his name any other way, but popular culture transformed his memory into \"Davy Crockett,\" and Hollywood gave him a raccoon hat he hardly ever wore. Best-selling historian Michael Wallis casts a fresh look at the frontiersman, storyteller, and politician behind these legendary stories. Born into a humble Tennessee family in 1786, Crockett never \"killed him a b'ar\" when he was only three. But he did cut a huge swath across early-nineteenth-century America—as a bear hunter, a frontier explorer, a soldier serving under Andrew Jackson, an unlikely congressman, and, finally, a martyr in his now-controversial death at the Alamo. Wallis's \u003ci\u003eDavid Crockett\u003c\/i\u003e is more than a riveting story. It is a revelatory, authoritative biography that separates fact from fiction, providing us with an extraordinary evocation of a true American hero and the rough-and-tumble times in which he lived.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n                        \u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n                        \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMichael Wallis\u003c\/b\u003e, author of \u003ci\u003eThe Best Land Under Heaven\u003c\/i\u003e and the best-selling \u003ci\u003eRoute 66\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eBilly the Kid\u003c\/i\u003e, has published nineteen books and won numerous awards and honors.
