307 Questions

Why was Davy Crockett a good role model?

David Crockett was not a good role model. Crockett cursed everyone when he didn't get his way, let false exaggerations about himself spread, and other things. Sure, he was a good hunter, a good politic, and a good soldier. An athlete can be the best at whatever he does, but we won't put him on a pedestal and call him an American folk hero. If you look into the information of David Crockett and his life, you'll see that he is an athlete among normal people, but ,as a role model, he's just about as good as any morally-struggling person.

How tall was Davy Crockett?

Davy Crockett was 6 feet tall and was very strong. You can find other facts in a exclopedia also.

Did Davy Crockett beg for his life before being killed at the Alamo or did he fight to the end?

This has been argued for years. The fact is we really do not know. Texans and Americans would like to believe he fought to the bitter end. However there is evidence that says otherwise. The diary of Lt. Jose Enrique de la Pena, a Mexican officer, was first published in 1975. We can expect that he had a better knowledge of Crockett's fate than most, so it seems likely that his version of Crockett being captured and killed after the battle is accurate.

Texans and Americans alike love to build up their hero's. And through folklore, Crockett's death had become heroic. If we are to believe de la Pena's version it is good to note that he doesn't state Crockett begged for his life, but he and the others captured, died with honor and did their duty to the end.
