An interesting read is Crockett's biography by John S. C. Abbott, in its entirety on the web. Especially worth reading is his Farewell poem in Ch. 11. Crockett
Crockett's knowledge of English was far better then that commonly stated. His "ignorance" was useful in gathering votes at the time, from a largely poorly educated electorate. His letters excoriating Andrew Jackson are masterpieces of vitriol.
At university, I played bridge with one of his descendants, who had a memory which could reconstruct bridge games played months before.
I will post his poem (part of which has been made into a song) in a separate thread.
