The history story of David Crockett, a great hunter involved in Alamo
, and a brave backwoodsman. At the close of the
Revolution, Tennessee was still largely a wilderness.
Here David Crockett was born in 1786. In those days
schools on the frontier were few and poor, and young
"Davy" found most of his schooling in the backwoods.
He learned to know the woods and streams and the
animals that lived in them. As a boy he spent most of
his time hunting and trapping. As a young man he was
one of the most famous rifle shots in the United States.
