Davy Crockett - 1786-1836

According to the ballad, Davy Crockett, born in Tennessee (part of North Carolina at the time), kilt him a b'ar when he was only three (altho' only a song, always had my doubts about cruelty to animals from one so young). Playing with it night and day, young Davy should have taken more care (had a hunting reputation), he pulled the arms and legs off his toy teddy bear. Even at that early age, our Davy really was quite unfair (King of the Wild Frontier), he knocked the stuffing out of his toy teddy bear.
