A pseudo-autobiography; the preface purports to be written by an Alex J. Dumas, who claims that he received Crockett's manuscript from a Charles T. Beale, who wrote the final chapter. The work is generally ascribed to Richard Penn Smith. Cf. Sabin. Amer. Bibl., volume 20, page 471; Burton's Gentleman's magazine, Philadelphia, 1839, volume 5, pages 119-121 and Dict. Amer. Biog. |
