Book Suggestion: American Legend The Real-Life Adventures of David Crockett
By Buddy Levy.

Fess Parker's death got me thinking about Davy Crockett the other day so I scooted down to the library and found a bio about Mr. Crockett and it was so good I finished it in one night.

If you like reading about frontier life, early America and true characters I suggest this book!

I've been whistling "King of the Wild Frontier" all day!

5. As an aside. Fess Parker was probably my first "crush."
Before I was even old enough to know what a crush was. And I only really saw the syndicated reruns.

But I can look back and say...



Yes. Even at the age of 5 I knew a good lookin man when I seen one.
