Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Life of Colonel David Crockett: Comprising His Adventures as Backwoodsman and Hunter; His Service as Soldier and Scout in the Creek War; His Electioneering Canvasses; His Career as Congressman; His Tour Through the Northern States; And His Services and Death in the Texan War of Independ "Make room for Colonel Crockett!" said the usher the White House, one evening, when the famous Congressman from the backwoods presented himself with a number of other callers. "Colonel Crockett makes room for himself!" was the exclamation of the Member as he strode into the room. The incident is typical of the man. Gifted by nature with an exhaustless fund of humor, born to privation, hardship and labor, trained, not in the school of books, but in the severer one of experience, he exhibited true manliness, honesty and bravery in all his words and actions. Colonel Crockett lacked the refinements which a truer education would have given him: he said and did things which cannot be held up as models for the youth of to-day; but a profound sense of justice and of devotion to right permeated his entire life. Rough and uncultured though he was, his career contains much that is commendable and worthy of imitation. His moral heroism was displayed in his defiance of the vast powers of President Jackson when political ruin was the almost inevitable consequence.
