American Legend: The Real-Life Adventures of David Crockett Tapa blanda - 2006

de Buddy Levy

THE REAL KING OF THE WILD FRONTIER

David Crockett was an adventurer, a pioneer, and a media-savvy national celebrity. In his short-but-distinguished lifetime, this charismatic frontiersman won three terms as a U.S. congressman and a presidential nomination. His 1834 memoir enjoyed frenzied sales and prompted the first-ever "official" book tour for its enormously popular author. Down-to-earth, heroic, and independent to a fault, the real Crockett became lost in his own hype-and he's been overshadowed by a larger-than-life pop-culture character in a coonskin cap.

Now, American Legend debunks the tall tales to reveal the fascinating truth of Crockett's hardscrabble childhood, his near-death experiences, his unlikely rise to Congress-and the controversial last stand at the Alamo that mythologized him beyond recognition. In this beautifully written narrative, Crockett emerges as never before-a rugged individual, a true American original, and an enduring symbol of the Western frontier.

The interior book, however, has no visible extraneous markings throughout it and thus has all printing and illustrations pictures in very well-preserved and enjoyable condition and the interior book is also still well glued into its exterior cover. This book will be carefully wrapped up and sent promptly to you from here in New Jersey and comes to you with our honest appreciation for your interest and your order.
