Davy Crockett

Hi, I'm blogging about Davy Crockett.  He was born on August 17th 1786 in east Tennessee.  He was a noted hunter and for his unique style of backwoods oratory.  In Texas he is a heroic participant in the Battle of the Alamo.  He was 18 before he learned to read and write.  When he got married he started a family with several children.  By 1821 he was elected the state legislature and was reelected to the position in 1823.  From 1827 through 1833 Davy served in the Congress of the United States.  However, in the fourth term he was defeated by a narrow margin.  Disgusted by that time with the politics he went to Texas in the fall and a month later he fought in the Battle of the Alamo and died in battle.  That's my blog.  Bye!
