	Davy Crockett
		In 1823, Crockett, having moved to the extreme western part of the state, was reelected from his new constituency.
		Crockett became a political opponent of Jackson, and the Whigs took him up so assiduously that he became the showpiece of conservatism.
		Davy Crockett - Explorer/Political Figure, born 17 August 1786, Tennessee frontiersman and defender of the Alamo

	Brief Biographies of Jackson Era Characters (C) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		According to David Crockett's biography The Frontiersman by Mark Derr (p147-8), Chilton also "wrote many of Crockett's speeches and formal, circular letters back to his constituents [and] was also the ghostwriter for his autobiography", and there were those back home who thought Crockett was being manipulated.
		Following his last session in congress, Crockett toured the Northeast, and was greeted by huge (no doubt orchestrated) crowds, and continued to turn out autobiographical writing, with the help of ghost writers.
		His folk hero status was bolstered by a comic play, in which "Colonel Nimrod Wildfire" was a surrogate for Crockett, "autobiographical" writings, some written with his help and some not, by the "Davy Crockett Almanacs" which were popular for years.
