Sobre este artículo
12mo, rebound with maroon cloth with leather spine and label, new endpapers, portrait frontispiece, 234, [34]pp. Some dampstaining, foxed; otherwise very good in a fine modern binding. While Crockett is cited as the author, the work is generally ascribed to Augustus S. Clayton. Crockett (1786-1836) frontiersman, Indian fighter, scout, politician, and hero of the Alamo, was regarded as a living legend. Long before the Alamo, he was a popular folk hero, and served a couple of terms in Congress. In 1834, he took a celebrated tour of the North, which is the subject of the current work, and visited Philadelphia, New York, Boston and Baltimore. After being voted out of office, probably for his well known anti-Andrew Jackson sentiments, he left Tennessee and would eventually be drawn to the struggle for Texas independence. In 1836, he was killed in the heroic defense of the Alamo.
