Title: David Crockett: The Lion of the West Author: Michael Wallis Narrator: John Pruden Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 14 minutes Release date: May 18, 2011 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: His name was David Crockett. He never signed his name any other way, but popular culture transformed his memory into 'Davy Crockett,' and Hollywood gave him a raccoon hat he hardly ever wore. Bestselling historian Michael Wallis casts a fresh look at the frontiersman, storyteller, and politician behind these legendary stories. Born into a humble Tennessee family in 1786, Crockett never 'killed him a b'ar' when he was only three. But he did cut a huge swath across early-nineteenth-century America—as a bear hunter, a frontier explorer, a soldier serving under Andrew Jackson, an unlikely congressman, and, finally, a martyr in his now-controversial death at the Alamo. Wallis's David Crockett is more than a riveting story. It is a revelatory, authoritative biography that separates fact from fiction, providing us with an extraordinary evocation of a true American hero and the rough-and-tumble times in which he lived.
