Separating truth from tall tales, this easy-to-read biography details the life of a great American frontiersman.

Legends say Davy Crockett weighed two hundred pounds when he was born, and leapt right out of his cradle ready to fight. Though those stories are an exagerration, Crockett's life was anything but boring.Â Farmer, soldier, sharp-shooter and politician, he was a well-known figure in the early 1800sâ‚¬"and even after his death, his reputation as an American folk hero grew and grew. Â

In this illustrated biography, David Adler retells the true story of David Crockett's lifeâ‚¬"from his birth in Tennessee to his death at the Alamo.Â Using contemporary primary sources, Adler distinguishes between fact and legend, providing details about Crockett's family life and political career, as well as a note about the historical origins of many of the famed tall tales.Â A timeline of important dates is included.

For almost thirty years, David Adlerâ‚¬s Picture Book Biography series has profiled famous people who changed the world. Colorful, kid-friendly illustrations combine with Adlerâ‚¬s â‚¬Å“expert mixtures of facts and personalityâ‚¬Â (Booklist) to introduce young readers to history through compelling biographies of presidents, heroes, inventors, explorers, and adventurers. These books are ideal for first and second graders interested in history or who need reliable sources for school book reports.
