Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Life of David Crockett: The Original Humorist and Irrepressible Backwoodsman Colonel David Crockett was one of the most remarkable men of the times in which he lived. Born in humble life, but gifted with a strong will, an indomitable courage, and unremitting perseverance, as well as an aptitude for accumulating information, from his intercourse with men of superior education, he rose to posts of high honor and distinction. His talent for original humor caused his sayings to be admired and quoted, reported in newspapers, and received with applause throughout America and Europe. In his military career, which was confined to the Creek war of 1813-1814, he served in the ranks as a private soldier; and although in these circumstances, he never had an extensive separate command, he was frequently sent upon scouting and hunting expeditions in which he acquitted himself with credit. His entrance into public life was unsought on his own part, and was entirely the result of that ascendency which an able and independent mind asserts over the masses in the troubles and turmoils of politics.
