Description: "The Frontiersman: The Real Life and Many Legends of Davy Crockett" was written by Mark Derr and published by William Morrow in New York in 1993.This is a hardcover, first edition, first printing of this excellent and definitive 304-page biography featuring more than two-dozen black-and-white photographs and illustrations.The original price, as shown on the dustjacket front flap, was $23.00.Synopsis: “David Crockett has been interpreted, reinterpreted, and misinterpreted for well over a century. Amazingly enough, until this biography by Mark Derr, no one had sifted through the surviving historical documents to find the truth about a man who has been one of the most enduring of American symbols. “The Disney TV series on Davy Crockett created a cultural phenomenon in the 1950s. Later, historians denied that heroic image; in fact, during his lifetime his enemies accused him of drunkenness, corruption, adultery, and gambling. Even the events surrounding his death at age 50 in 1836 at the Alamo gave rise to further legends that have been widely disputed.“Derr deftly untangles the web surrounding fact and myth in this definitive biography of the original ‘common man’ who came to embody the frontier spirit.” The book is in fine, collectible condition, with no torn or bent pages, no scratches, stains or inscriptions, no remainder marks, no price-clipping, no bookplate, no ex-library, no book club edition, no flaws of any sort. It is as new. The dustjacket is in equally fine shape and is protected in a clear and removable archival cover.Please see the photos for a fuller description and author profile.BLK BOX 58PLEASE SEE THE OTHER TITLES NOW LISTED IN MY EBAY STORE: DISTANT VOYAGE BOOKSPAYPAL PREFERREDWill combine shipping.All items are well packed and are normally mailed within two days of payment being received.My 100% feedback rating is valuable to me.
