There wasn't anything that would suggest that he was the new-generation Daniel Boone (the title of whose own pseudo memoirs Crockett succesfully co-opted).
Onun yeni neslin Daniel Boone'u (David Boone: Crockett'in kendi kullanımı için başarılı bir şekilde sahte olarak hatıratını sahiplendiği isim) olduğu akla getirecek hiçbir şey yoktu.
Crockett, David. Known as “Davy.” 1786-1836.
American frontiersman and politician who was a U.S. representative from Tennessee (1827-1831 and 1833-1835) and joined the Texas revolutionaries fighting against Mexico. He died at the siege of the Alamo.
David Boone
U.S. frontiersman and legendary hero. He lived on the North Carolina frontier as a hunter and trapper. He made several trips through the Cumberland Gap into eastern Kentucky (1767, 1769–71) and in 1775 was employed to blaze a permanent trail, called the Wilderness Road. He established the settlements of Boonesboro and Harrodsburg. As a militia captain he defended Boonesboro against the Indians; he was captured by the Shawnee in 1778 but escaped after five months to warn Boonesboro of an impending attack. After losing his Kentucky land claims in the late 1780s, he moved to the Missouri Territory. His exploits were featured in a widely read history of Kentucky and in Lord Byron's epic poem Don Juan.
