Wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Years!
And from the creative talents of Michelle Herbelin, an Alamo Carol to the tune of The First Noel! Enjoy!
Click here to visit the website for the upcoming book, David Crockett in Congress: The Poor Man’s Friend. Written by Jim Boylston and Allen Wiener, the two go the whole hog to explore Crockett’s entire career in politics, revealing him to be a hardball campaigner.

A wonderful article regarding the donation of the only known portrait of Adam Huntsman (the congressman who defeated Crockett in 1835) to the East Tennessee Historical Society.
