Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Other uses Шаблон:Pp-semi-indef Шаблон:Use mdy dates Шаблон:Infobox officeholder David Crockett (August 17, 1786 – March 6, 1836) was an American folk hero, frontiersman, soldier, and politician. He is often referred to in popular culture as the "King of the Wild Frontier". He represented Tennessee in the U.S. House of Representatives and served in the Texas Revolution.

Crockett grew up in East Tennessee, where he gained a reputation for hunting and storytelling. He was made a colonel in the militia of Lawrence County, Tennessee and was elected to the Tennessee state legislature in 1821. In 1827, he was elected to the U.S. Congress where he vehemently opposed many of the policies of President Andrew Jackson, especially the Indian Removal Act. Crockett's opposition to Jackson's policies led to his defeat in the 1831 elections. He was re-elected in 1833, then narrowly lost in 1835, prompting his angry departure to Texas (then the Mexican state of Tejas) shortly thereafter. In early 1836, he took part in the Texas Revolution and died at the Battle of the Alamo. It is unclear whether he died in battle or was executed after being captured by the Mexican Army.[1][2][3]

Crockett became famous during his lifetime for larger-than-life exploits popularized by stage plays and almanacs. After his death, he continued to be credited with acts of mythical proportion. These led in the 20th century to television and film portrayals, and he became one of the best-known American folk heroes.Шаблон:Sfn[4]

Family and early life

The Crocketts were of mostly French-Huguenot ancestry, although the family had settled in Ulster in the north of Ireland before migrating to the Americas.Шаблон:Sfn The earliest known paternal ancestor was Gabriel Gustave de Crocketagne, whose son Antoine de Saussure Peronette de Crocketagne was given a commission in the Household Troops under King Louis XIV of France. Antoine married Louise de Saix and emigrated to the Kingdom of Ireland with her, changing the family name to Crockett.Шаблон:Sfn Their son Joseph LouisШаблон:Sfn was born and raised in Ireland, possibly being born, according to local tradition, near either Castlederg or Donemana, both villages in the northwest of County Tyrone in the west of Ulster; Joseph Louis Crockett later married Sarah Stewart, who was also from west Ulster, she being an Ulster-Scot from just outside the village of Manorcunningham in the Laggan district in the east of County Donegal.[5][6] Joseph and Sarah emigrated to New York, where their son William David was born in 1709. He married Elizabeth Boulay. William and Elizabeth's son David was born in Pennsylvania and married Elizabeth Hedge. They were the parents of William, David Jr., Robert, Alexander, James, Joseph, and John,Шаблон:Efn the father of David Crockett who died at the Alamo.

John was born c. 1753 in Frederick County, Virginia.Шаблон:Sfn The family moved to Tryon County, North Carolina c. 1768. In 1776, the family moved to northeast Tennessee, in the area of modern Hawkins County.Шаблон:Sfn John was one of the Overmountain Men who fought in the Battle of Kings Mountain during the American Revolutionary War.Шаблон:Sfn He was away as a militia volunteer in 1777 when David and Elizabeth were killed at their home near modern Rogersville by Creeks and Chickamauga Cherokees led by war chief Dragging Canoe.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn John's brother Joseph was wounded in the skirmish. His brother James was taken prisoner and held for seventeen years.Шаблон:Sfn

John married Rebecca Hawkins in 1780.Шаблон:Sfn Their son David was born August 17, 1786,Шаблон:Sfn and they named him after John's father.Шаблон:Efn David was born in modern Greene County, Tennessee (then part of North Carolina), close to the Nolichucky River and near the community of Limestone.Шаблон:Efn John continually struggled to make ends meet, and the Crocketts moved to a tract of land on Lick Creek in 1792.Шаблон:Sfn John sold that tract of land in 1794 and moved the family to Cove Creek, where he built a gristmill with partner Thomas Galbraith.Шаблон:Sfn A flood destroyed the gristmill and the Crockett homestead. The Crocketts then moved to Mossy Creek in Jefferson County, Tennessee, but John forfeited his property in bankruptcy in 1795.Шаблон:Sfn The family next moved on to property owned by a Quaker named John Canady.Шаблон:Efn At Morristown in the Southwest Territory, John built a tavern on a stage coach route.Шаблон:Efn

When David was 12 years old, his father indentured him to Jacob Siler to help with the Crockett family indebtedness. He helped tend Siler's cattle as a cowboy on a Шаблон:Convert trip to near Natural Bridge in Virginia. He was well treated and paid for his services but, after several weeks in Virginia, he decided to return home to Tennessee.Шаблон:Sfn The next year, John enrolled his sons in school, but David played hookey after an altercation with a fellow student. Upon learning of this, John attempted to whip him but was outrun by his son. David then joined a cattle drive to Front Royal, Virginia, for Jesse Cheek.Шаблон:Sfn Upon completion of that trip, he joined teamster Adam Myers on a trip to Gerrardstown, West Virginia.Шаблон:Sfn In between trips with Myers, he worked for farmer John Gray.Шаблон:Sfn After leaving Myers, he journeyed to Christiansburg, Virginia, where he apprenticed for the next four years with hatter Elijah Griffith.Шаблон:Sfn

In 1802, David journeyed by foot back to his father's tavern in Tennessee.Шаблон:Sfn His father was in debt to Abraham Wilson for $36 (Шаблон:Inflation), so David was hired out to Wilson to pay off the debt.Шаблон:Sfn Later, he worked off a $40 debt to John Canady.Шаблон:Sfn Once the debts were paid, John Crockett told his son that he was free to leave. David returned to Canady's employment, where he stayed for four years.Шаблон:Sfn

Marriages and children

Crockett fell in love with John Canady's niece Amy Summer, who was engaged to Canady's son Robert.Шаблон:Sfn While serving as part of the wedding party, Crockett met Margaret Elder. He persuaded her to marry him, and a marriage contract was drawn up on October 21, 1805. However,[7] Margaret had also become engaged to another young man at the same time, whom she married instead of Crockett.Шаблон:Sfn

He met Polly Finley and her mother Jean at a harvest festival.Шаблон:Sfn Although friendly towards him in the beginning, Jean Finley eventually felt Crockett was not the man for her daughter.Шаблон:Sfn Crockett declared his intentions to marry Polly, regardless of whether the ceremony was allowed to take place in her parents' home or had to be performed elsewhere. He arranged for a justice of the peace and took out a marriage license on August 12, 1806. On August 16, he rode to Polly's house with family and friends, determined to ride off with Polly to be married elsewhere. Polly's father pleaded with Crockett to have the wedding in the Finley home. Crockett agreed only after Jean apologized for her past treatment of him.Шаблон:Sfn

Tennessee militia service

Файл:Davy Crockett2 1967 Issue-5c.jpg
Шаблон:Center

Andrew Jackson was appointed major general of the Tennessee militia in 1802.Шаблон:Sfn The Fort Mims massacre occurred near Mobile, Mississippi Territory, on August 30, 1813, and became a rallying cry for the Creek War.Шаблон:Sfn On September 20, Crockett left his family and enlisted as a scout for a term of 90 days with Francis Jones's Company of Mounted Rifleman,Шаблон:Sfn part of the Second Regiment of Volunteer Mounted Riflemen.Шаблон:Sfn They served under Colonel John Coffee in the war, marching south into present-day Alabama and taking an active part in the fighting.Шаблон:Sfn Crockett often hunted wild game for the soldiers, and felt better suited to that role than killing Creek warriors.Шаблон:Sfn He served until December 24, 1813.Шаблон:Sfn

The War of 1812 was being waged concurrently with the Creek War. After the Treaty of Fort Jackson in August 1814, Andrew Jackson, then with the U.S. Army, wanted the British forces ousted from Spanish FloridaШаблон:Sfn and asked for support from the Tennessee militia. Crockett re-enlisted as third sergeant for a six-month term with the Tennessee Mounted Gunmen under Captain John Cowan on September 28, 1814.Шаблон:Sfn Crockett's unit saw little of the main action because they were days behind the rest of the troops and were focused mostly on foraging for food. Crockett returned home in December.Шаблон:Sfn He was still on a military reserve status until March 1815, so he hired a young man to fulfill the remainder of his service.Шаблон:Sfn

Public career

In 1817, Crockett moved the family to new acreage in Lawrence County, where he first entered public office as a commissioner helping to configure the new county's boundaries.Шаблон:Sfn On November 25, the state legislature appointed him county justice of the peace.Шаблон:Sfn On March 27, 1818, he was elected lieutenant colonel of the Fifty-seventh Regiment of Tennessee Militia, defeating candidate Daniel Matthews for the position.Шаблон:Sfn By 1819, Crockett was operating multiple businesses in the area and felt his public responsibilities were beginning to consume so much of his time and energy that he had little left for either family or business. He resigned from the office of justice of the peace and from his position with the regiment.Шаблон:Sfn

Tennessee General Assembly

In 1821, he resigned as commissioner and successfully ran for a seat in the Tennessee General Assembly,[9] representing Lawrence and Hickman counties.Шаблон:Sfn It was this election where Crockett honed his anecdotal oratory skills.Шаблон:Sfn He was appointed to the Committee of Propositions and Grievances on September 17, 1821, and served through the first session that ended November 17, as well as the special session called by the governor in the summer of 1822, ending on August 24.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn He favored legislation to ease the tax burden on the poor.Шаблон:Sfn Crockett spent his entire legislative career fighting for the rights of impoverished settlers who he felt dangled on the precipice of losing title to their land due to the state's complicated system of grants.Шаблон:Sfn[10] He supported 1821 gubernatorial candidate William Carroll, over Andrew Jackson's endorsed candidate Edward Ward.Шаблон:Sfn

Less than two weeks after Crockett's 1821 election to the General Assembly, a flood of the Tennessee River destroyed Crockett's businesses.Шаблон:Sfn In November, Elizabeth's father Robert Patton deeded Шаблон:Convert of his Carroll County property to Crockett.Шаблон:Sfn Crockett sold off most of the acreage to help settle his debts, and moved his family to the remaining acreage on the Obion River, which remained in Carroll County until 1825 when the boundaries were reconfigured and put it in Gibson County.Шаблон:Sfn In 1823, he ran against Andrew Jackson's nephew-in-law William Edward ButlerШаблон:Sfn and won a seat in the General Assembly representing the counties of Carroll, Humphreys, Perry, Henderson and Madison.Шаблон:Sfn He served in the first session, which ran from September through the end of November 1823, and in the second session that ran September through the end of November 1824, championing the rights of the impoverished farmers.Шаблон:Sfn During Andrew Jackson's election to the United States Senate in 1823, Crockett backed his opponent John Williams.Шаблон:Sfn

United States House of Representatives

On October 25, 1824, Crockett notified his constituents of his intention to run in the 1825 election for a seat in the U.S. House of Representatives. He lost that election to incumbent Adam Rankin Alexander.Шаблон:Sfn A chance meeting in 1826 gained him the encouragement of Memphis mayor Marcus Brutus Winchester[11] to try again to win a seat in Congress.Шаблон:Sfn The Jackson Gazette published a letter from Crockett on September 15, 1826, announcing his intention of again challenging Rankin, and stating his opposition to the policies of President John Quincy Adams and Secretary of State Henry Clay and to Rankin's position on the cotton tariff.Шаблон:Sfn Militia veteran William Arnold also entered the race, and Crockett easily defeated both political opponents for the 1827–29 term.[12]Шаблон:Sfn He arrived in Washington, D.C. and took up residence at Mrs. Ball's Boarding House, where a number of other legislators lived when Congress was in session.Шаблон:Sfn Jackson was elected as president in 1828. Crockett continued his legislative focus on settlers getting a fair deal for land titles, offering H.R. 27 amendment to a bill sponsored by James K. Polk.Шаблон:Sfn

Шаблон:Quote box

Crockett was re-elected for the 1829–31 session,[13] once again defeating Adam Rankin Alexander.Шаблон:Sfn He introduced H.R. 185 amendment to the land bill on January 29, 1830, but it was defeated on May 3.Шаблон:Sfn On February 25, 1830, he introduced a resolution to abolish the United States Military Academy at West Point, New York[14] because he felt that it was public money going to benefit the sons of wealthy men.Шаблон:Sfn He spoke out against Congress giving $100,000 to the widow of Stephen Decatur, citing that Congress was not empowered to do that.Шаблон:Sfn He opposed Jackson's 1830 Indian Removal Act and was the only member of the Tennessee delegation to vote against it.Шаблон:Sfn Cherokee chief John Ross sent him a letter on January 13, 1831, expressing his thanks for Crockett's vote.Шаблон:Sfn His vote was not popular with his own district, and he was defeated in the 1831 election by William Fitzgerald.Шаблон:Sfn

Crockett ran against Fitzgerald again in the 1833 election and was returned to Congress, serving until 1835.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn On January 2, 1834, he introduced the land title resolution H.R. 126, but it never made it as far as being debated on the House floor.Шаблон:Sfn He was defeated for re-election in the August 1835 election by Adam Huntsman.Шаблон:Sfn During his last term in Congress, he collaborated with Kentucky Congressman Thomas Chilton to write his autobiography, which was published by E. L. Carey and A. Hart in 1834 as A Narrative of the Life of David Crockett, Written by Himself,Шаблон:Sfn and he went east to promote the book. In 1836, newspapers published the now-famous quotation attributed to Crockett upon his return to his home state:

I told the people of my district that I would serve them as faithfully as I had done; but if not, they might go to hell, and I would go to Texas.[15]

Although Crockett owned some slaves, his record in Congress did not indicate either avid support for or opposition to the institution of slavery in the United States.[16]Шаблон:Sfn

Texas Revolution

By December 1834, Crockett was writing to friends about moving to Texas if Jackson's chosen successor Martin Van Buren was elected president. The next year, he discussed with his friend Benjamin McCulloch raising a company of volunteers to take to Texas in the expectation that a revolution was imminent.Шаблон:Sfn His departure to Texas was delayed by a court appearance in the last week of October as co-executor of his deceased father-in-law's estate; he finally left his home near Rutherford in West Tennessee with three other men on November 1, 1835, to explore Texas.Шаблон:Sfn His youngest child Matilda later wrote that she distinctly remembered the last time that she saw her father:

Шаблон:Blockquote

Crockett traveled with 30 well-armed men to Jackson, Tennessee, where he gave a speech from the steps of the Madison County courthouse, and they arrived in Little Rock, Arkansas, on November 12, 1835. The local newspapers reported that hundreds of people swarmed into town to get a look at Crockett, and a group of leading citizens put on a dinner in his honor that night at the Jeffries Hotel. Crockett spoke "mainly to the subject of Texan independence", as well as Washington politics.Шаблон:Sfn

Crockett arrived in Nacogdoches, Texas, in early January 1836. On January 14, he and 65 other men signed an oath before Judge John Forbes to the Provisional Government of Texas for six months: "I have taken the oath of government and have enrolled my name as a volunteer and will set out for the Rio Grande in a few days with the volunteers from the United States." Each man was promised about Шаблон:Convert of land as payment. On February 6, he and five other men rode into San Antonio de Bexar and camped just outside the town.

Crockett arrived at the Alamo Mission in San Antonio on February 8.Шаблон:Sfn A Mexican army arrived on February 23 led by General Antonio López de Santa Anna, surprising the men garrisoned in the Alamo, and the Mexican soldiers immediately initiated a siege.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn Santa Anna ordered his artillery to keep up a near-constant bombardment. The guns were moved closer to the Alamo each day, increasing their effectiveness. On February 25, 200–300 Mexican soldiers crossed the San Antonio River and took cover in abandoned shacks approximately Шаблон:Convert from the Alamo walls.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn The soldiers intended to use the huts as cover to establish another artillery position, although many Texians assumed that they actually were launching an assault on the fort.Шаблон:Sfn Several men volunteered to burn the huts.Шаблон:Sfn To provide cover, the Alamo cannons fired grapeshot at the Mexican soldiers, and Crockett and his men fired rifles, while other defenders reloaded extra weapons for them to use in maintaining a steady fire. The battle was over within 90 minutes,Шаблон:Sfn and the Mexican soldiers retreated.Шаблон:Sfn There were limited stores of powder and shot inside the Alamo, and Alamo commander William Barret Travis ordered the artillery to stop returning fire on February 26 so as to conserve precious ammunition. Crockett and his men were encouraged to keep shooting, as they were unusually effective.Шаблон:Sfn

As the siege progressed, Travis sent many messages asking for reinforcements. Several messengers were sent to James Fannin who commanded the group of Texian soldiers at Presidio La Bahia in Goliad, Texas. Fannin decided that it was too risky to reinforce the Alamo, although historian Thomas Ricks Lindley concludes that up to 50 of Fannin's men left his command to go to Bexar.Шаблон:Sfn These men would have reached Cibolo Creek on the afternoon of March 3, Шаблон:Convert from the Alamo, where they joined another group of men who also planned to join the garrison.Шаблон:Sfn

There was a skirmish between Mexican and Texian troops that same night outside the Alamo.Шаблон:Sfn Historian Walter Lord speculates that the Texians were creating a diversion to allow their courier John Smith to evade Mexican pickets.Шаблон:Sfn However, Alamo survivor Susannah Dickinson said in 1876 that Travis sent out three men shortly after dark on March 3, probably a response to the arrival of Mexican reinforcements. The three men—including Crockett—were sent to find Fannin.Шаблон:Sfn Lindley states that Crockett and one of the other men found the force of Texians waiting along Cibolo Creek just before midnight; they had advanced to within Шаблон:Convert of the Alamo. Just before daylight on March 4, part of the Texian force managed to break through the Mexican lines and enter the Alamo. A second group was driven across the prairie by Mexican cavalry.Шаблон:Sfn

The siege ended on March 6 when the Mexican army attacked just before dawn while the defenders were sleeping. The daily artillery bombardment had been suspended, perhaps a ploy to encourage the natural human reaction to a cessation of constant strain. But the garrison awakened and the final fight began. Most of the noncombatants gathered in the church sacristy for safety. According to Dickinson, Crockett paused briefly in the chapel to say a prayer before running to his post.Шаблон:Sfn The Mexican soldiers climbed up the north outer walls of the Alamo complex, and most of the Texians fell back to the barracks and the chapel, as previously planned.Шаблон:Sfn Crockett and his men, however, were too far from the barracks to take shelterШаблон:Sfn and were the last remaining group to be in the open. They defended the low wall in front of the church, using their rifles as clubs and relying on knives, as the action was too furious to allow reloading. After a volley and a charge with bayonets, Mexican soldiers pushed the few remaining defenders back toward the church.Шаблон:Sfn

The Battle of the Alamo lasted almost 90 minutes,Шаблон:Sfn and all of the defenders were killed. Santa Anna ordered his men to take their bodies to a nearby stand of trees, where they were stacked together and wood piled on top.Шаблон:Sfn That evening, they lit a fire and burned their bodies to ashes.Шаблон:Sfn The ashes were left undisturbed until February 1837, when Juan Seguin and his cavalry returned to Bexar to examine the remains. A local carpenter created a simple coffin, and ashes from the funeral pyres were placed inside. The names of Travis, Crockett, and Bowie were inscribed on the lid.Шаблон:Sfn The coffin is thought to have been buried in a peach tree grove, but the spot was not marked and can no longer be identified.Шаблон:Sfn

Death

Файл:David Crockett Spring IMG 6242.JPG
The David Crockett Spring in Crockett, Houston County, Texas

David Crockett died at the Alamo on the morning of March 6, 1836, at the age of 49. Accounts from survivors of the battle differ on the manner of Crockett's death, with stories ranging from Crockett putting up a heroic last stand to the account that he surrendered along with several other men and was executed. To further confusion, historians have been able to back up opposing theories with "voluminous evidence".[17]

Controversy

The popular mythology of Crockett's death in American culture is one of a heroic last stand, a tale that is backed up by some historical evidence. For example, a former African-American slave named Ben, who had acted as cook for one of Santa Anna's officers, maintained that Crockett's body was found in the barracks surrounded by "no less than sixteen Mexican corpses", with Crockett's knife buried in one of them.Шаблон:Sfn There is, however, historical evidence countering the popular myth, with stories of a Crockett surrender and execution circulating as far back as just a few weeks after the battle.Шаблон:Sfn

The counter myth picked up historical steam, when, in 1955, Jesús Sánchez Garza discovered the memoirs of José Enrique de la Peña, a Mexican officer present at the Battle of the Alamo, and self-published it as La Rebelión de TexasШаблон:SndManuscrito Inédito de 1836 por un Oficial de Santa Anna. Texas A&M University Press published the English translation in 1975 With Santa Anna in Texas: A Personal Narrative of the Revolution. The English publication caused a scandal within the United States, as it asserted that Crockett did not die in battle.Шаблон:Sfn The translator of the English publication, Carmen Perry, the former librarian of the Daughters of the Republic of Texas, was harassed with anonymous letters and intimidating phone calls by Crockett loyalists who considered the mere suggestion that Crockett had not died fighting blasphemous.[18]

Some have questioned the validity of the text. The author and retired firefighter, William Groneman III, posited that the journals were made up of several different types of paper from several different paper manufacturers, all cut down to fit.Шаблон:Sfn Long-time John Wayne enthusiast Joseph Musso [19] also questioned the validity of de la Peña's diary, basing his suspicions on the timing of the diary's release, and the fact that historical interest in the topic rose around the same time as the Walt Disney mini-series Davy Crockett was released in 1955. Some questions were answered when, in 2001, archivist David Gracy published a detailed analysis of the manuscript, including lab results. He found, among other things, that the paper and ink were of a type used by the Mexican army in the 1830s, and the handwriting matched that on other documents in the Mexican military archives that were written or signed by de la Peña.[20][21]

Файл:DAVID CROCKETT (Ship) (c112-01-18).jpg

As for those who have questioned de la Peña's ability to identify any of the Alamo defenders by name, historians believe that de la Peña likely witnessed or was told about executions of the Alamo survivors. And while some claim neither he nor his comrades would have known who those men were,[22] others conclude that the "enormous weight of evidence" is in favor of the surrender-execution hypothesis.[18] To further controversy, equal evidence is available for the "heroic last stand" story, with several survivors and first-hand witnesses to the battle claiming Crockett fought to the death.[17]

Legacy

One of Crockett's sayings, many of which were published in almanacs between 1835 and 1856 (along with those of Daniel Boone and Kit Carson), was: "Always be sure you are right, then go ahead."Шаблон:Sfn

While serving in the United States House of Representatives, Crockett became a Freemason. He entrusted his masonic apron to a friend in Tennessee before leaving for Texas, and it was inherited by the friend's descendant in Kentucky.[23]

In 1967, the U.S. Postal Service issued a 5-cent stamp commemorating Davy Crockett.[24][25]

Fess Parker as Davy Crockett in Disneyland

Walt Disney adapted Crockett's stories into a television miniseries titled Davy Crockett, which aired in 1954 and 1955 on Walt Disney's Disneyland. The series popularized the image of Crockett, portrayed by Fess Parker, wearing a coonskin cap, and originated the song "The Ballad of Davy Crockett". The first three parts of the series were edited into a feature-length movie for theaters.

Crockett's stories were used by the French animation Studios Animage for a 1994 animated series titled Davy Crockett.[41]

A 2009 episode of MythBusters tested whether Crockett could split a bullet in half on the blade of an ax Шаблон:Convert away, and concluded that it would indeed be possible to do so.[42]

Film

In films, Crockett has been played by:

Theatre

  • Davy Crockett (1872), popular touring play of its time, by Frank Murdoch
  • Davy Crockett, musical play (unfinished), January to April 1938, Kurt Weill[48][49]

Prose fiction

Crockett appears in at least two short alternate history works: "Chickasaw Slave" by Judith Moffett in Mike Resnick's anthology Alternate Presidents (1992), where Crockett is the seventh President of the United States, and "Empire" by William Sanders in Harry Turtledove's anthology Alternate Generals II (2002) where Crockett fights for Emperor Napoleon I of Louisiana in a conflict analogous to the War of 1812.[50] Crockett is also a character in Gore Vidal's novel Burr as a congressman from Tennessee.

Comics

Columbia Features syndicated a comic strip, Davy Crockett, Frontiersman, from June 20, 1955, until 1959. Stories were by France Herron[51] and the artwork was ghosted in early 1956 by Jack Kirby.[52]
