Blending myth and reality, Constance Rourke aimed to get at the heart of Davy Crockett, whose hold on the American imagination was firm even before he died at the Alamo. Davy Crockett, published in 1934, pioneered in showing the backwoodsman’s transformation into a folk hero. It remains a basic in the Crockett literature. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

Boring, long, filled with obscure references and dated vocabulary, and entirely too flattering of the rascal. Two wives put up with his almost near-constant absence - I wonder why he kept uprooting his family and making them start over in the wilderness if he wasn't going to be there to help them anyway. The issues of race were dealt with interestingly - non-whites were always 'lesser' but at least Crockett fought the feds to try to prevent the Trail of Tears and other removals.
Still, I guess it must have been a decent biography for its time, as it was a Newbery Honor selection. And there are over 20 pp of source notes, indicating that Rourke did her research and tried to be accurate and objective. (
