Yes, Davy Crockett and Sam Houston were contemporaries and knew each other. Both played significant roles in the Texas Revolution, with Crockett arriving in Texas shortly before the Battle of the Alamo in 1836, while Houston was the commander of the Texian army. They shared mutual friends and connections within the Texian movement, but their direct interactions were limited. Ultimately, they both contributed to the fight for Texas independence.
