Anecdotes on the life & adventures of Davy Crockett...



Item # 713613

June 28, 1834

THE MIRROR, London, England, June 28, 1834  A small British magazine with various literary content, one of which, under the heading: "New Books" is the: "Life of David Crockett", with subheading: "Sketches and Eccentricities of Colonel David Crocket...".
This account takes 1 1/2 columns and a few of his many escapades up to that time including several accounts regarding horrific interactions with Indians.
Interesting that Davy Crockett has achieved legendary status in England two years before what he is mostly known for: fighting & dying at the Battle of the Alamo in 1836.
Sixteen pages, 5 1/4 by 8 1/4 inches, very nice condition.
