The original humorist and irrepressible backwoodsman. An autobiography, to which is added an account of his glorious death at the Alamo while fighting in defense of Texan independence. The life of Colonel Crockett was written by himself, is entirely without literary pretensions; but it is full of interest as well as instruction. It shows how much may be accomplished by a right aim, a strong will, and an indomitable spirit of perseverance. Illustrated.
