S3·E18 Davy Crockett: American Frontier Legend

For over 150 years, his legacy has been immortalized in literature, song, and cinema. While master hunter Davy Crockett is perhaps best known for his struggle to push further westward into the American frontier and for his advocacy for the poor, he was also a thrice-elected member of the U.S. Congress. Crockett's rugged upbringing in the backwoods of Tennessee set the tone for what would become a life marked by adventure and loyalty to his fellow man. From his disheartening service in the U.S. Army to his profession of the principles of common justice to his life's end at the Alamo, Crockett will always be an indelible symbol of the great American spirit. BIOGRAPHY employs dramatic reenactments and captivating interviews with noted historians to tell the epic tale of America's beloved "King of the Wild Frontier".
