On this date, August 17th, in 1786, the "King of the Wild Frontier" was born in Tennessee. Davy Crockett became famous for hunting and storytelling about action in America's wild frontier. He served as U.S. House of Representative member for Tennessee and fought during the Texas Revolution - including the final, heroic defense of the Alamo in Texas. He was glorified in that battle - swinging his rifle at Mexican troops, as you can see from the painting below (public domain image).
