		East Texas was full of Jacksonians, and Crockett was no longer on their good side due to his opposition to many of Andrew Jackson’s policies.

		Whether he was or not, Crockett, a 49-year old man who went to Texas out of despair in hopes of finding his fortune, died a hero fighting a small battle in a remote frontier.

		Crockett’s Exploits, however, reverses this sequence somewhat: a gentleman by birth, he bids farewell to his village fiancée and sets out for the Alamo with Crockett, only to prove the girl’s fears that she will never see him again predictably prophetic.
		Crockett, the author would have us infer, is a pearl among swine, a native genius whose woeful lack of opportunities alone has retarded his full realization of greatness.
		Crockett’s Exploits does contain elements of adventure for its own sake, brief accounts of a buffalo stampede, a mustang chase, and an encounter with Comanches, for example, the author’s treatment of the Texians’ bravery at the Alamo is hardly gratuitous.
