Agree 100%.
The common sense shown in this short story almost makes my head hurt.

This Davy Crockett story was written by the Whig party over 60 years after Davy Crocketts death. There is no record in the congressional record of Davy Crockett ever saying stuff like this, and I believe there are some votes to the contrary.

The story originates from a book by 19th century novelist Edward Ellis. According to my notes, I found that almost every fact in the story is incorrect, but based on truth. I read through pages and pages of Gales and Seaton records (they kept the Congressional Record for many years.) I wish I had more details written down, but I don’t. You can find Gales and Seaton online somewhere and look through it if interested.
