Davy Crockett[edit]
David "Davy" Crockett (August 17, 1786 – March 6, 1836) was a 19th-century American folk hero, frontiersman, soldier, and politician. Known as the "King of the Wild Frontier," Crockett became famous during his lifetime for his larger-than-life exploits and his role in the Texas Revolution.
Early Life[edit]
Davy Crockett was born in what is now Greene County, Tennessee, to John and Rebecca Crockett. He was the fifth of nine children. His early life was marked by hardship and adventure, as his family moved frequently due to financial difficulties.
Career[edit]
Frontiersman[edit]
Crockett gained a reputation as a skilled hunter and outdoorsman. His adventures in the wilderness became the subject of popular stories and tall tales, contributing to his legendary status.
Political Career[edit]
Crockett served as a member of the Tennessee General Assembly and later as a U.S. Congressman from Tennessee. He was known for his opposition to many of the policies of President Andrew Jackson, particularly the Indian Removal Act.
Texas Revolution[edit]
In 1835, Crockett left Tennessee and headed to Texas, which was then part of Mexico. He joined the Texian forces fighting for independence from Mexico. Crockett arrived at the Alamo Mission in San Antonio in February 1836.
Battle of the Alamo[edit]
Crockett fought and died in the Battle of the Alamo on March 6, 1836. The battle became a symbol of resistance and sacrifice in the fight for Texas independence.

Davy Crockett's life and death have been romanticized in American culture. He has been portrayed in numerous books, films, and television series. His image as a rugged individualist and defender of freedom continues to resonate in American folklore.
