Killing Davy Crockett attempts to answer basic questions concerning the death of the famous hunter, trapper, soldier, and politician. Crockettseveral times a member of the US Congress and foe of President Andrew Jacksonwas ultimately defeated for reelection to Congress and chose to throw his famous coonskin cap into the struggle for Texas independence. Killing Davy Crockett encompasses this homespun Tennessee heros early years, military, then political experiences, and his trip to beaconing Texes, as he called it. Davy entered the Alamo, an old Spanish mission turned into a makeshift fort, with a small group of marksman volunteers. They dedicated and lost their lives when the small garrison at the Alamo was besiegedthen assaultedby Mexican president and general-in-chief Antonio Lopez de Santa Annas large Mexican army. Did Davy lose his life in combat, or was he executed by the Mexicans? This work attempts to answer that question, which has long been debated among eminent Texas historians.

At long last, it is time for a new and fresh look at David Crockett's death at the Alamo. In recent years, it has become fashionable in books, a celebrated Mexican memoir, and the latest Alamo film (2004) to emphasize that Crockett's death at the Alamo was less than heroic-a captured Crockett was allegedly executed on General Santa Anna's direct orders. But this was simply not the case. This timely book tells the truth about Crockett's death in the heat of battle on the early morning of March 6, 1836.

Did Davy Crockett die during the battle for the Alamo or was he captured and executed? The Trial of Davy Crockett presents a speculative dialogue between Crockett and Generalissimo Antonio LÓpez de Santa Anna, meeting in a clash of will and wit over the ideology of the Texian Revolution and American expansionism. The Trial of Davy Crockett presents a new Crockett, true to the original; a man embittered by his own failure, disenfranchised from the government he loved, a man forced to recognize his own shortcomings and those of his country. He is a man whose most supreme faith is brutally tested. Likewise, Santa Anna is presented in more depth and detail than any in fiction: This man is vain, erratic, perhaps slightly unhinged. But he is proud of his nation, determined to serve her at the expense of his own life. He is rightfully offended by many United States policies, especially as regards expansionism and slavery. He stands for what he believes is right, and in the expression of those beliefs we hear, finally, the Mexican perspective on the invasion of their country and the desecration of their way of life. The Trial of Davy Crockett is an unusual work in other ways: Nearly its entire length is occupied by a single scene. The POV is in the second person, but not told in that character's voice: it is instead a second-person limited omniscient viewpo∫ rare in fiction. It is a trial which is not a trial, where the defendant is the jury and the punishment is life, not death. It forces the reader to entertain an internal conflict of emotion against intellect, dividing sympathy between two diametrically-opposed forces. It challenges the reader to reconsider his society and its place in history and his place within that society. It challenges history and convention. But it speaks of more than politics; it addresses the vanity that propels men to abuse each other for their own self-satisfaction, a condition which sadly out-lived all involved with the Alamo and will probably out-live us all. This Crockett is the truest to the actual David Crockett, showing him with all his foibles and those of his time; this was no demigod, but a man typical of his lowly times. Only in understanding the truth of his humanity can we appreciate his great leap into legend; only as men can the lives and deaths of these rebels help us understand our own motivations and actions, our own vanities and sacrifices. Is Crockett's character assaulted? No -- this is a more complex and patriotic Crockett than any other in fiction; for only when faith is tested can it be said to be pure. Review from The Midwest Book Review, November 11, 2001. The Trial Of Davy Crockett is a speculative fiction novella. Author Fletcher Rhoden questions whether Davy Crockett was truly killed during the battle for the Alamo -- or whether he was captured and executed by the Mexicans. The Trial Of Davy Crockett presents a hypothetical dialogue between Crockett and Generalissimo Antonio LÓpez de Santa Anna, which collide in an articulate, wry, thought-provoking, and no-holds-barred verbal conflict regarding the Texian Revolution and America's unrestrained expansionism. Neither Crockett or Santa Anna is stereotyped in the roles of hero or villain; their opposing points of view are given a clear and fair hearing, for all to see and judge for themselves. Based entirely on the facts of the revolution, The Trial Of Davy Crockett is a "must" for Texas history buffs and not to be missed. Review from a reader in New York The Trial of Davy Crockett offers more than simply a must for Texas history buffs. In this novella, based in fact, author Fletcher Rhoden examines a dynamic character in Santa Anna and in so doing allows the reader a compelling account of Mexican history at a time when that country was shrinking under American expansionism. A subject all too often ignored by many Amer

According to legend, frontiersman Davy Crockett could lick his weight in wildcats and died at the Alamo only after killing hundreds of enemy soldiers. Did he always wear a coonskin cap and buckskins? Or was he just an ordinary man, a hunter and politician who usually dressed in everyday clothes and died like any other ordinary man at the Alamo? Find out in this book, which seeks to separate fact from fiction while exploring the life and death of one of the most colorful characters in American history.

Just over thirty years ago, Dan Kilgore ignited a controversy with his presidential address to the Texas State Historical Association and its subsequent publication in book form, How Did Davy Die? After the 1975 release of the first-ever English translation of eyewitness accounts by Mexican army officer José Enrique de la Peña, Kilgore had the audacity to state publicly that historical sources suggested Davy Crockett did not die on the ramparts of the Alamo, swinging the shattered remains of his rifle "Old Betsy." Rather, Kilgore asserted, Mexican forces took Crockett captive and then executed him on Santa Anna's order. Soon after the publication of How Did Davy Die?, the London Daily Mail associated Kilgore with "the murder of a myth;" he became the subject of articles in Texas Monthly and the Wall Street Journal; and some who considered his historical argument an affront to a treasured American icon delivered personal insults and threats of violence. Now, in this enlarged, commemorative edition, James E. Crisp, a professional historian and a participant in the debates over the De la Peña diary, reconsiders the heated disputation surrounding How Did Davy Die? and poses the intriguing follow-up question, “. . . And Why Do We Care So Much?” Crisp reviews the origins and subsequent impact of Kilgore’s book, both on the historical hullabaloo and on the author. Along the way, he provides fascinating insights into methods of historical inquiry and the use—or non-use—of original source materials when seeking the truth of events that happened in past centuries. He further examines two aspects of the debate that Kilgore shied away from: the place and function of myth in culture, and the racial overtones of some of the responses to Kilgore’s work.

Even as a pup, Davy Crockett "always delighted to be in the very thickest of danger." In his own inimitable style, he describes his earliest days in Tennessee, his two marriages, his career as an Indian fighter, his bear hunts, and his electioneering. His reputation as a b'ar hunter (he killed 105 in one season) sent him to Congress, and he was voted in and out as the price of cotton (and his relations with the Jacksonians) rose and fell. In 1834, when this autobiography appeared, Davy Crockett was already a folk hero with an eye on the White House. But a year later he would lose his seat in Congress and turn toward Texas and, ultimately, the Alamo.
