A profile of Davy Crockett, frontier marksman and Tennessee legislator, tracing his rise to national fame under Andrew Jackson and Martin Van Buren. The sketch notes Crockett as a shrewd political wit who surprised peers with economic sense, his bear-hunter image, his coonskin episode, and a 1834 eastern tour that boosted his stature before his death at the Alamo.
