{"product_id":"crockett","title":"Crockett","description":"\"A great myth-busting story, written in a taut narrative style that is guaranteed to keep the reader up all hours turning the pages.\" --Martin Dugard, coauthor of the #1 New York Times bestseller Killing Lincoln (with Bill O'Reilly)Crack open the most in-depth, exciting portrait of Davy Crockett ever written, from acclaimed bestselling adventure-history author Buddy Levy. Inside is more than just the tale of the coonskin-cap-wearing frontiersman who heroically sacrificed himself at the Battle of the Alamo, but of the real man behind the King of the Wild Frontier myth. From a humble childhood and meager education, the legendary adventurer David Crockett led a distinguished life, winning three elections as a congressman and earning a presidential nomination. Buddy Levy reveals the fascinating truth of Crockett, beyond the newspaper spins and folkloric celebrity status, as a figure that both embraced and clashed with the identity of the American Old West. He was charismatic, down-to-earth, pioneering, independent to a fault, and his adventures have been warped beyond recognition by Hollywood hype. But in this beautifully written narrative, Davy Crockett emerges as never before: a rugged individual, a true American original, and an enduring symbol of the Western frontier.","brand":"Diversion Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48204330631357,"sku":"BS-TC0-150092","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0771\/9767\/2637\/files\/9798895150092-HD.jpg?v=1787160367","url":"https:\/\/boundigo.com\/products\/crockett","provider":"Boundigo Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
