In the 1836, Crockett took part in the Texas Revolution and was killed at the Battle of the Alamo in March. Crockett became famous in his own lifetime for larger then life exploits popularized by stage plays and almanacs. After his death,he continued to be credited with acts of mythical proportion.

Davy Crockett was one of the last soldiers standing at the Alamo. He fought until the very end and was a heroic person. He helped the texans by holding off the Mexicans for the 13 days.
