Davy's life was like a real-life action movie! From surviving in the deep wilderness to wearing his famous coonskin cap all the way to the United States Congress, Davy Crockett was a true American legend. We’ll uncover how he stood up for poor farmers, how wild "tall tales" said he could ride a lightning bolt, and the incredible bravery he showed defending the Alamo in Texas.
