It was good, interesting, and certainly written in the style of the period. He really had a thing for bears. Pioneers were super tough in eighteenth American. Swimming those frozen rivers and shinning up a tree and sliding down just to keep from freezing tells a lot about his toughness. It left me wanting more, and ended with nothing about his travels to Texas and his experiences there. Can't fault him for not writing about the Alamo since he died there.

An awesome model for boys to emulate!

I bought this book specifically because Davy Crockett himself was the author. I thought it would contain his entire autobiography, but the book ends before he goes off to Congress.

Davy Crockett is a legend -- and Crockett knew this while he was still alive. Throughout this autobiography, he is careful to conform to his public image, while being willing to clarify some of the tall tales being told.
Some have doubted Crockett's authorship, and he certainly used fellow congressman, Thomas Chilton of Kentucky to edit and assist in the manuscript preparation. However, the book is the work of Crockett and he wrote it in 1834, two years before the Alamo.
