This book helped turn Davy Crockett and the battle for the Alamo into an undying legend. It reinforced Crockett’s image as the “King of the Frontier”. According to Howes, this “ingenuous pseudo-autobiography, [was] purportedly printed from the manuscript found with the baggage of a Mexican general slain at San Jacinto.”
