My New Book About ‘Davy’ Crockett Explores His Rise to Fame and Relationship with West Tennessee

I’m excited to share that “The Accidental Fame and Lack of Fortune of West Tennessee’s David Crockett” is now available on Amazon. The book focuses on the Tennessee congressman’s journey from frontier to fame to international icon. Also included are stories of many of the colorful characters in Crockett’s life from Tennessee’s early history including James K. Polk, Sam Houston, Marcus Winchester and Andrew Jackson. Crockett and Jackson were bitter enemies, and Jackson contributed to Crockett’s eventual congressional defeat.
