Born on a Mountaintop: On the Road with Davy Crockett and the Ghosts of the Wild Frontier

I really enjoyed this book. It's readable, it's fun, and the author doesn't take sides in the various Crockett controversies, but rather, treats all of them with respect and leaves the reader to decide for him/herself where the historical truth lies. Highly recommended for anyone who grew up during the Disney craze, or who has visited the Alamo, or who just wants to delve into this facet of Americana.
