A narrative of the life of David Crockett, of the State of Tennessee
by Davy Crockett
Category: BIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY

The "King of the Wild Frontier" penned this autobiography in 1834 just two years before his death at the Alamo. In it, he describes growing up in East Tennessee, his time in the militia of Lawrence County and his eventual foray into politics. Davy Crockett became synonymous with the frontier, and through time his exploits have become larger than life and mythic in proportion.
