Stories Bigger Than Texas: The Alamo Podcast
Episode 46: The Real David Crockett
A frontiersman, a soldier, a community leader, a state legislator, a U.S. Representative, an author - and a coonskin cap-wearing celebrity. Who was the real David Crockett?
We reveal the folk hero's humble beginnings, his unlikely path to that fateful morning defending the Alamo, and what separates the real-life man from the larger than life legend. Featuring the Alamo's former curator Dr. Bruce Winders.
