It took me almost 3 weeks to read this dry and long-winded biography of one of American history’s most colorful characters.
In a nutshell, David Crockett was in a constant state of motion. And poverty. And storytelling. He fancied himself a politician, but he accomplished nothing in Congress. He considered himself a true frontiersman, but he didn’t break any new ground. Mostly, the impoverished Tennessee native bragged about himself, which is funny because his life was hardly brag-worthy.
All in all, I found this to be awfully boring. 300 pages seem excessive for this subject.
