Davy Crockett, soldier, statesman, pioneer, hunter. History claims that he died defending the Alamo back in March 1836, but some people will tell you different. They say that Davy was bigger than death. They say that he is still alive and walks clean across the country every morning with a piece of the sunrise in his pocket... But what was the young Davy Crockett like? How did he grow? One thing we're sure of, he was born into poverty and hard times and from these humble beginnings, he rose to be a man his neighbours saw fit to be elected to the congress of the United States.
