'''David "Davy" Crockett''' was an American frontiersman, soldier, politician, and folk hero who lived from 1786 to 1836; he was the protagonist of a live-action Disney television miniseries loosely based on his life, several episodes of which were re-edited into the feature films ''Davy Crockett: King of the Wild Frontier'' and ''Davy Crockett and the River Pirates''. Volunteering to serve in the Creek War under General Andrew Jackson, Crockett became known for his larger-than-life exploits (including once killing a bear at the age of three) and his strong sense of justice, fighting to protect Native Americans from exploitation. He successfully ran for the Tennessee General Assembly and the US House of Representatives, though he resigned from the latter after tearing a proposed bill that would force indigenous people off their lands in half. He died in battle with General Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna's Mexican army at the Alamo in 1836. |
