{"product_id":"2940169702811","title":"David Crockett: The Lion of the West","description":"His name was David Crockett. He never signed his name any other way, but popular culture transformed his memory into \"Davy Crockett,\" and Hollywood gave him a raccoon hat he hardly ever wore. Bestselling historian Michael Wallis casts a fresh look at the frontiersman, storyteller, and politician behind these legendary stories. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBorn into a humble Tennessee family in 1786, Crockett never \"killed him a b'ar\" when he was only three. But he did cut a huge swath across early-nineteenth-century America-as a bear hunter, a frontier explorer, a soldier serving under Andrew Jackson, an unlikely congressman, and, finally, a martyr in his now-controversial death at the Alamo. Wallis's \u003ci\u003eDavid Crockett\u003c\/i\u003e is more than a riveting story. It is a revelatory, authoritative biography that separates fact from fiction, providing us with an extraordinary evocation of a true American hero and the rough-and-tumble times in which he lived.","brand":"Tantor Audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47150331658480,"sku":"2940169702811","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940169702811_p0.jpg?v=1763691329","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940169702811","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
