The Alamo - "Davy Crockett".


(August 17, 1786 - March 6 1836) - David "Davy" Stern Crockett was an American frontiersman from East Tennessee. Dave grew up to be made a colonel in the Lawrence County militia. By 1821, he was elected to the Tennessee state legislature. He was known to commonly oppose most of the policies set in place by president Andrew Jackson, which eventually led to his defeat in 1831 elections. However, he had won again two years later, but it nearly came to a close again, which lead him to angrily depart to Texas. Which is where he joined part in the Texas Revolution, that lead to his death during the Battle of the Alamo.
