David Davy Crockett August 17, 1786 - March 6, 1836) was a 19th-century American folk hero, frontiersman, army, and politician. He is often referred to in popular culture with the nickname "King of the Wild Frontier". He represented Tennessee in the US House of Representatives and served in the Texas Revolution.
Crockett grew up in East Tennessee, where he earned a reputation for hunting and storytelling. He was appointed colonel to the Lawrence County, Tennessee and was elected to Tennessee state parliament in 1821. In 1827, he was elected to the US Congress where he strongly opposed many of President Andrew Jackson's policies, notably India's Elimination Act. Crockett's opposition to Jackson's policy led to his defeat in the election of 1831. He was re-elected in 1833, then lost in 1835, prompting his angry departure to Texas (later Mexican state Tejas) shortly thereafter. In early 1836, he participated in the Texas Revolution and was killed at the Battle of the Alamo in March.
Crockett became famous throughout his lifetime for a greater exploitation of life popularized by stage and almanac dramas. After his death, he continues to be credited with the action of the proportion of myths. It leads in the 20th century to television and film shows, and he became one of America's most famous folk heroes.

Family and early life
Crocketts is mostly of French-Huguenot descent, although the family settled in Ireland before migrating to America. The oldest known paternal ancestor was Gabriel Gustave de Crocketagne, whose son Antoine de Saussure Peronette de Crocketagne was commissioned in the Household Army under the French King Louis XIV. Antoine married Louise de Saix and immigrated to Ireland with him, changing his surname to Crockett. Their son Joseph Louis was born in Ireland and married Sarah Stewart. Joseph and Sarah emigrated to New York, where their son William David was born in 1709. He married Elizabeth Boulay. William and son Elizabeth, David was born in Pennsylvania and married Elizabeth Hedge. They are the parents of William, David Jr., Robert, Alexander, James, Joseph, and John, David Crockett's father who died in the Alamo.
John was born c. 1753 in Frederick County, Virginia. The family moved to Tryon County, North Carolina c. 1768. In 1776, the family moved to northeastern Tennessee, in what is now known as Hawkins County. John is one of the Overmountain Men who fought in the Battle of Kings Mountain during the American Revolutionary War. He left as a militia volunteer in 1777 when David and Elizabeth were murdered in their home near Rogersville today by Creeks and Chickamauga Cherokees led by Dragging Canoe's war chief. John Joseph's brother was injured in the battle. His brother, James, was imprisoned and detained for seventeen years.
John married Rebecca Hawkins in 1780. Their son, David, was born August 17, 1786, and they named him by the name of John's father. David was born in what is now Greene County, Tennessee (at that time part of North Carolina), close to the Nolichucky River and near the Limestone community. John continued to struggle to make ends meet, and Crocketts moved to the ground at Lick Creek in 1792. John sold the land in 1794 and moved his family to Cove Creek, where he built a gristmill with partner Thomas Galbraith. The flood destroyed the gristmill and the Crockett guesthouse. Crocketts then moved to Mossy Creek in Jefferson County, Tennessee, but John lost his property in bankruptcy in 1795. The family moved to a Quaker property called John Canady. In Morristown in the Southwest Region, John built a stall on the stage coach track.
When David was 12 years old, his father handed him over to Jacob Siler to help the Crockett family debt. He helped Siler's cattle as a buckaroo on a 400-mile (640 km) journey to nearby Natural Bridge in Virginia. He was well treated and paid for his services but, after a few weeks in Virginia, he decided to return to Tennessee. The following year, John enrolled his sons at school, but David played hookey after a fight with fellow students. Upon learning of this, John attempted to whip him but was defeated by his son. David then joins the cattle drive to Front Royal, Virginia to Jesse Cheek. After completing the journey, he joins Adam Adam's teamster on his way to Gerrardstown, West Virginia. On the sidelines of a trip with Myers, he works for farmer John Gray. After leaving Myers, he traveled to Christiansburg, Virginia, where he apprenticed for the next four years with a hatter of Elijah Griffith.
In 1802, David traveled on foot back to his father's shop in Tennessee. His father owes Abraham Wilson $ 36 (equivalent to $ 616 in 2017), so David is hired to Wilson to pay off his debt. Later, he worked from $ 40 debt to John Canady. Once debt is paid, John Crockett tells his son that he is free to leave. David returned to Canady's work, where he lived for four years.
Marriage and children
Crockett falls in love with John Canady's nephew, Amy Summer, who is engaged to the son of Canady, Robert. While serving as part of the wedding, Crockett meets Margaret Elder. She persuaded him to marry him, and the marriage contract was made on 21 October 1805. Margaret was also engaged to another young man at the same time and married her instead.
He met Polly Finley and his mother, Jean, at the harvest festival. Although friendly to him at the beginning, Jean Finley finally felt Crockett was not the man for his daughter. Crockett declared his intention to marry Polly, regardless of whether the ceremony was allowed to be done at his parents' home or to be done elsewhere. He arranged peace justice and took a marriage certificate on August 12, 1806. On August 16, he went to Polly's house with family and friends, determined to go with Polly to marry elsewhere. Polly's father begged Crockett to have a wedding at Finley's house. Crockett agrees only after Jean apologizes for his past treatment of him.
The newlyweds settled on the ground near Polly's parents, and their first child, John Wesley Crockett, who was a member of the United States Congress, was born July 10, 1807. Their second child, William Finley Crockett, was born November 25, 1808. In October 1811, move to Lincoln County. Their third son Margaret Finley (Polly) Crockett was born on November 25, 1812. Crocketts then moved to Franklin County in 1813. He named the new house at Beans Creek "Kentuck". His wife died in March 1815, and Crockett asked his brother John and his brother-in-law to stay with him to help care for the children. That same year, she married Elizabeth Patton's widow, who had a daughter, Margaret Ann, and a son, George. David and Elizabeth's son, Robert Patton, was born September 16, 1816. Rebecca Elvira's daughter was born on December 25, 1818. Princess Matilda was born August 2, 1821.

milisi Tennessee
Andrew Jackson was appointed prime general of the Tennessee militia in 1802. The massacre at Fort Mims occurred near Mobile, Mississippi Territory on August 30, 1813 and became a call for the Creek War. On September 20, Crockett left his family and enlisted as a scout for an initial 90-day period with Francis Jones Company of Mounted Rifleman, part of the Second Resiment of Volunteer Mounted Riflemen. They serve under Colonel John Coffee in the war, march south to Alabama at the moment and take an active part in battle. Crockett often hunted wild game for the soldiers, and felt more suited to that role than killing the Creek warriors. He served until 24 December 1813.
The War of 1812 is being launched in conjunction with the War of the Creek. After the Fort Jackson Treaty in August 1814, Andrew Jackson, now with the US Army, wanted British troops ousted from Florida Spain and sought the support of the Tennessee militia. Crockett was re-enlisted as a third sergeant for a six-month tenure with Tennessee Mounted Gunmen under Captain John Cowan on September 28, 1814. The Crockett unit saw little action as they were behind other troops and mostly focused on finding food. Crockett returned home in December. He was still a military reserve until March 1815, so he hired a young man to fulfill the rest of his ministry.
Legislative career
In 1817, Crockett moved his family to a new area in Lawrence County, where he first entered public office as a commissioner who helped set the boundaries of the new district. On 25 November, the state legislature appoints him as a territory of peace trials. On March 27, 1818, he was elected lieutenant colonel of the Fifty-Seventh Tennessee Military Regiment, defeating candidate Daniel Matthews for the position. In 1819, Crockett ran a lot of business in the area and felt his public responsibility began to spend so much time and energy that he had little money for family or business. He resigned from the peace justice office and from his position with the regiment.
Tennessee General Assembly
In 1821, he resigned as a commissioner and managed to run in the Tennessee General Assembly, representing the territory of Lawrence and Hickman. It was this election in which Crockett honed his anecdote speech skills. He was appointed to the Proposition and Complaint Committee on September 17, 1821, and served through the first session ending November 17, as well as a special session called by the governor in the summer of 1822, ending on 24 August. He favored the law to alleviate the tax burden on the poor. Crockett spent his entire legislative career struggling for the rights of poor settlers he felt in the abyss of losing their land rights due to the complicated state grant system. He supported the 1821 candidate for governor William Carroll, over the candidate supported by Andrew Jackson Edward Ward.
Less than two weeks after Crockett's election in 1821 to the General Assembly, the Tennessee River flood destroyed Crockett's business. In November, Elizabeth's father, Robert Patton, preached 800 acres (320 hectares) of his Carroll County estate to Crockett. Crockett sold most of the area to help pay off his debt, and moved his family to the remaining area on the Obion River, which remained in Carroll County until 1825 when the boundaries were reconfigured and placed in Gibson County. In 1823, he ran against William Andrew Jackson's nephew William Edward Butler and won seats in the General Assembly representing County Carroll, Humphreys, Perry, Henderson, and Madison. He served in the first session, which lasted from September to the end of November 1823, and in the second session which lasted from September to the end of November 1824, fighting for the rights of poor peasants. During the election of Andrew Jackson to the United States Senate in 1823, Crockett supported his opponent John Williams.
United States House of Representatives
On October 25, 1824, Crockett told the constituents his intention to run in the election of 1825 for a seat in the US House of Representatives. He lost the election to replace Adam Rankin Alexander. An opportunity meeting in 1826 gave him a boost from Memphis mayor Marcus Brutus Winchester to try again to win a seat in Congress. The Jackson Gazette published a letter from Crockett on September 15, 1826 announcing its intention to challenge Rankin again, and expressed his opposition to the policies of President John Quincy Adams and Foreign Minister Henry Clay and Rankin's position. with cotton fare. Veteran militia William Arnold also entered the race, and Crockett easily defeated both political opponents for the period 1827-29. He arrived at Washington D.C. and stayed at Bu Deb Dormitory, where a number of other legislators stayed when the Congress took place. Jackson was elected President in 1828. Crockett continued his legislative focus on settlers getting a fair deal on land rights, offering amendments to Hr. 27 against a bill sponsored by James K. Polk.
Crockett was re-elected for the 1829-31 session, again beating Adam Rankin Alexander. He introduced the HR 185 amendment to the land bill on January 29, 1830, but was defeated on May 3. On February 25, 1830, he introduced a resolution to remove the United States Military Academy in West Point, New York because he felt that it was public money that would benefit rich boys. He spoke out against Congress giving $ 100,000 to Stephen Decatur's widow, citing that Congress is not empowered to do that. He opposed the Jackson 1830 Indian Removal Act and the only member of the Tennessee delegation against it. Cherokee's chief, John Ross, sent him a letter on January 13, 1831 to thank him for the sound of Crockett. His election was unpopular in his own district, and he was defeated in the 1831 election by William Fitzgerald.
Crockett ran against Fitzgerald again in the election of 1833 and returned to Congress, serving until 1835. On January 2, 1834, he introduced a land rights resolution H.R. 126, but never got as far as debated on the floor of the House. He was defeated for re-election in the August 1835 election by Adam Huntsman. During his last term in Congress, he collaborated with Kentucky congressman Thomas Chilton to write his autobiography, published by EL Carey and A. Hart in 1834 as A Life Narrative David Crockett, Written by Himself , and he went east to promote the book. In 1836, the newspaper published a now famous quote attributed to Crockett after returning to his home country:
I tell the people in my district that I will serve them faithfully as I have done; but if not, they might go to hell, and I'll go to Texas.
Texas Revolution
In December 1834, Crockett wrote to his friends about a move to Texas if Jackson's chosen substitute Martin Van Buren was elected President. The following year, he discussed with his friend Benjamin McCulloch, who raised a volunteer company to be brought to Texas in the hope that a revolution was imminent. His departure to Texas was delayed by court appearances in the last week of October as co-executor of his deceased father-in-law's estate; he finally left his home near Rutherford in West Tennessee with three other men on November 1, 1835 to explore Texas. His youngest son, Matilda, later wrote that he remembered clearly the last time he saw his father:
She was wearing hunting clothes, wearing a coonskin hat, and carrying the subtle rifles presented to her by friends in Philadelphia.... She seemed very confident the morning she was leaving that she would soon have us all to join her in Texas..
Crockett traveled with 30 well-armed men to Jackson, Tennessee, where he gave a speech from the steps of the Madison County Courthouse, and they arrived in Little Rock, Arkansas on November 12, 1835. Local newspapers reported that hundreds of people raided. to town to see Crockett, and a group of prominent citizens wore dinner in his honor that night at the Jeffries Hotel. Crockett spoke "mainly for Texan independence issues," as well as Washington's politics.
Crockett arrived in Nacogdoches, Texas in early January 1836. On January 14, he and 65 others signed an oath before Judge John Forbes to the Texas Provisional Government for six months: "I have taken the oath of government and have registered my name as a volunteer and will travel to Rio Grande within a few days with volunteers from the United States. "Everybody is promised about 4,600 hectares (1,900 hectares) of land as payment. On February 6, he and five others went to San Antonio de Bexar and camped out of town.
Crockett arrived at the Alamo Mission in San Antonio on February 8th. Mexican troops arrived on 23 February led by General Antonio LÃÆ'³pez de Santa Anna, shocking people marching in the Alamo, and Mexican soldiers immediately embarked on a siege. Santa Anna ordered her artillery to continue to do almost constant bombardment. The weapon moves closer to the Alamo every day, increasing its effectiveness. On 25 February, 200-300 Mexican troops crossed the San Antonio River and took shelter in abandoned huts about 90 to 100 meters (82 to 91 m) from the Alamo wall. The soldiers intend to use the shack as a cover to build another artillery position, although many Texans assume that they are actually launching an attack on the fort. Some men voluntarily set fire to huts. To provide protection, the Alamo guns fired grapeshots on Mexican soldiers, and Crockett and his men fired rifles, while other defenders refilled additional weapons for their use in maintaining a fixed fire. The battle ended in 90 minutes, and the Mexican army retreated. There was a limited powder shop and was shot inside the Alamo, and the Alamo commander William Barret Travis ordered the artillery to stop the shot back on February 26 to save precious ammunition. Crockett and his men are encouraged to keep firing, as they are very effective.
When the siege took place, Travis sent many messages asking for reinforcements. Several messengers were sent to James Fannin who led the Tex army group at Presidio La Bahia in Goliad, TX. Fannin decides that it is too risky to strengthen the Alamo, although historian Thomas Ricks Lindley concludes that up to 50 Fannin left his command to go to Bexar. These people will reach Cibolo Creek on the afternoon of March 3, 35 miles (56 km) from Alamo, where they join another group that also plans to join the garrison.
There was a battle between Mexicans and Texans on the same night outside Alamo. Historian Walter Lord speculates that the Texans created a diversion to allow their messenger John Smith to avoid Mexican pickets. However, Alamoso survivor Susannah Dickinson said in 1876 that Travis sent three people shortly after dark on March 3, possibly a response to the arrival of Mexican aid troops. The three men - including Crockett - were sent in search of Fannin. Lindley stated that Crockett and one of the other men found the strength of the Texas troops waiting along Cibolo Creek just before midnight; they have advanced to within 20 miles (32 km) of the Alamo. Just before noon on March 4th, part of the Texas troop managed to break through the Mexican lines and into the Alamo. The second group was driven across the prairie by the Mexican cavalry.
The siege ended on March 6 when Mexican troops attacked just before dawn while the defenders were asleep. The daily artillery bombardment has been suspended, perhaps a tactic to induce a natural human reaction to the constant stoppage of the tension. But the garrison awakens and the final battle begins. Most non-combatants gather in the sacristy of the church for salvation. According to Dickinson, Crockett paused in the chapel to say a prayer before running to his post. The Mexican soldiers broke through the outer wall of the northern Alamo complex, and most Texans returned to the barracks and chapels, as planned before. Crockett and his men, however, were too far from the barracks to take cover and were the last remaining group in the open. They defended the low wall in front of the church, using their guns as clubs and hanging on the knives, because the act was too angry to allow reloading. After a volley and a payload with a bayonet, the Mexican army pushed some of the remaining defenders back toward the church.
The Battle of the Alamo lasted nearly 90 minutes, and all the defenders were killed. Santa Anna orders his men to take their bodies to the nearest trees, where they are piled together and the wood is piled on top of it. That night, they light a fire and burn their bodies into ashes. The ashes were left undisturbed until February 1837, when Juan Seguin and his cavalry returned to Bexar to inspect the remains. A local carpenter makes a simple coffin, and ashes from firewood burial are placed inside. The names of Travis, Crockett, and Bowie were written on the lid. The coffin was suspected to have been buried in a grove of peach trees, but the place was not marked and could not be identified anymore.
Death
All that is certain about David Crockett's fate is that he died fighting at the Alamo on the morning of March 6, 1836 at the age of 49. According to many accounts, between five and seven Texans surrendered during the battle, perhaps to General Castrillon. Santa Anna had ordered the Mexicans not to take prisoners, and she was angry that the order was ignored. He demanded immediate execution of the victims, but Castrillon and several other officers refused to do so. The staff officers who did not participate in the battle drew their swords and killed unarmed Texans.
Controversy
A few weeks after the battle, the story began to circulate that Crockett was among those who surrendered and were executed. A former American slave named Ben had acted as a cook for one of Santa Anna's officers, and he maintained that Crockett's body was found in a barracks surrounded by "no fewer than sixteen Mexican corpses", with Crockett's knife buried in one of them. Historians disagree with which stories are accurate. According to Petite:
Every story about the execution story of surrender comes from a recognized antagonist (either on the political or military basis) of Santa Anna. It is believed that many stories, such as the surrender and execution of Crockett, were created and disseminated to discredit Santa Anna and add to her role as a villain.
In 1955, JesÃÆ'ºs SÃÆ'¡nchez Garza published himself a book entitled La RebeliÃÆ'³n de Texas - Manuscrito InÃÆ'  © dito de 1836 por un Ofical de Santa Anna , supposedly to be a memoir Josà ©  © Enrique de la PeÃÆ' ± a, a Mexican officer present at the Battle of the Alamo. Texas A & amp; M University Press publishes an English translation in 1975 With Santa Anna in Texas: A Personal Narrative of the Revolution . British publications caused a scandal in the United States, because it confirmed that Crockett did not die in combat. Historians disagree on whether or not any books have been forged. The original book is self-published, and no editor or publisher has ever checked its authenticity. SÃÆ'¡nchez Garza never explained how he got custody of the documents or where they were deposited after death de la Peà ± à ± a.
Some historians have discovered that it is suspicious that the compilation of SÃÆ'¡nchez Garza was published in 1955, at the height of Crockett and Alamo's interest caused by the Walt Disney television miniseries Davy Crockett. Groneman also pointed out that the journal consists of several different paper types from several different paper manufacturers, all of which are cut accordingly. Historian Joseph Musso also questioned his validity, also based his suspicions at the time of the diary's release.
The most energetic defender of this document is the historian James Crisp, who discovered a pamphlet of 1839 by de la PeÃÆ'Â ± a in which the Mexicans say he is preparing his diary for publication - evidence that, if nothing else, the text of Sanchez Garza has a history basic. Finally, in 2001, archivist David Gracy published a detailed analysis of the manuscript, including lab results. He found, among other things, that paper and ink were the kind used by Mexican soldiers in the 1830s, and handwriting matched up with other documents in Mexican military archives written or signed by de la PeÃÆ' Â ± a.
Many also questioned de la PeÃÆ' Â ± a's ability to identify names of defenders of the Alamo. Many historians believe that de la PeÃÆ'Â ± a may have witnessed or been informed of the execution of some Alamo victims, but in fact neither he nor his associates would know who those people were.
Legacy
One of Crockett's remarks, published in the almanacs between 1835 and 1856 (along with Daniel Boone and Kit Carson), is: Always make sure you're right, then move on.
While serving in the United States House of Representatives, Crockett became a Freemason. He entrusted his masonic apron to a friend in Tennessee before leaving for Texas, and it was inherited by the descendants of his friend in Kentucky.
In 1967, the US Postal Service issued a stamp of 5 cents to commemorate Davy Crockett.

Discovery Channel
The seven-season episode of the Discovery Channel series MythBusters explores the story of Crockett's wood exploitation: that he can enter the ax to the tree trunk, firing his long shotgun from 40 yards (37 m), and press the tip exactly so that the bullet will split in two. After some practice, Tory Belleci was able to duplicate achievements from 20 meters (18 m) with a pistol resting on a sandbag and declared the myth "Confirmed", the reason that Crockett could consistently make a 40-yard (37 m) shot with enough experience.
