Davy Crockett Fights Frost and Bears Alone in Tennessee
The tale recalls Davy Crockett's solo trek through rough eastern Tennessee where he killed 17 bears in a week and, after giving a family 1000 pounds of meat, pressed on alone through darkness and cold. He wrestled a bear in a crevice, learned to survive by jumping and sliding in the icy night, and finally returned to camp at sunrise.
