Forget the Disney tales! This podcast dives deep into the life and times of the real Davy Crockett. We peel back the layers of myth to reveal a fascinating frontiersman, soldier, politician, and storyteller.

But Crockett's story is more than just bears and battles. We'll delve into his political career, his evolving views on slavery, and the reasons behind his tragic demise.
