Davy Crockett: Five titles are grouped under the name of Crockett: Sketches and Eccentricities of Col. David Crockett, of West Tennessee (1833). A Narrative of the Life of David Crockett, of the State of Tennessee (Philadelphia, 1834; seven editions in one year). Life of Martin Van Buren (1835). An Account of Col.

The Narrative is reprinted with an introduction by Hamlin Garland, in The Modern Student’s Library, under the title, The Autobiography of David Crockett (New York, 1923).

There is no life of Crockett; such so-called works are uncritical jumbles of fact and fiction. Some information will be found in John Donald Wade, “The Authorship of David Crockett’s Autobiography” (Georgia Historical Quarterly, September, 1922); S. H. Stout, “David Crockett” (American Historical Magazine, Vol. VII, No. I, Jan., 1902)—uncritical; Chester T. Crowell, “Davy Crockett” (American Mercury, Vol. IV, No. 13).
