I think bscsco has got it right. I researched this story several years back. I even bought a copy of the Ellis book. Similar events did in fact transpire. I think they were synthesized into one tidy story, and I think some of the speech was probably embellished for literary effect. After all, this is Davy Crockett we’re talking about. There has been much exaggeration regarding his life.
Ok, I stand corrected. I did not search the records he found that in.
