DAVY CROCKETT
Famous Frontiersman Who Died in
the Alamo.


Perhaps, strictly speaking, Davy
Crockett was not a trail breaker Of
any great Importance Although he
was one of the first to follow the trail
to Texas, he certainly did not blaze 1t,
and his pathfinding activities were in
the main confined to certain portions
Of western Tennessee. But for all that
he was a fellow spirit Of Kit Carson
and Daniel Boone, and he belonged to
that advance guard Of American ad-
venturers whose exploits made possi-
BILE the settlement Of the west. Ger
tainly Davy Crockett was as pictur-
esque back woodsman as any one of
them, and far better known than most.
He was an Irishman, this Davy
Crockett, and Jobs proverbial turkey
was an emblem Of bloated wealth
compared with Crockett, senior,
Davy's father. who settled in eastern
Tennessee. Before he was 13 years old
Davy ran away, picked up a living
somewhere in various portions Of the
country from Tennessee to the Allan
tic seaboard, and returned home at Is,
being then too large to be spanked, to
help his father, who was still strug-
Cling frantically to keep the wolf from
the door. Davy once worked six
months to pay s25 debt of his faith
er's, and almost a year to settle $50
obligation.
Then, when he was Is years old and
hadn't a penny to bless himself with
he married an Irish girl year or two
younger than himself, installed her in
a log cabin that had contained neither
bed, chair, table, knife or fork, and
settled down to enjoy life. However
he borrowed SIS and fixed the place
up pretty grand" he assures us. He
made living largely by hunting and
trapping. But Davy Crockett was al
ways one of those whose neighbour
smoke vexed his eyes, and at 81 he de-
cided that the part of Tennessee he
was in was getting too thickly popu-
lated. So he packed his wife, two
children and household goods upor
one mare and two colts and started
for the western part of the state.
There he found abundance Of game
and there he stayed two years. Their
the Creek war broke out and Davy
Crockett Joined Jackson's command
and fought Indians for awhile. At 2;
he is described as blue-eyed, sandy
haired man, big and loose swung, with
| a straight nose and a merry mouth

out was rushing down stream with his
family in a dilapidated skiff. A relief

one of the leading hotels. She says
she has received only 500 since the
marriage.
Mr.. Tarbell is well known as a con-
tractor in Miami, Fla, Akron, Ohio,
