About This Item
Simon & Schuster. As New in Near Fine dust jacket. 1987. Library Binding. 0671665162 . Tan covers in As New conditon, a sound binding and the pages are bright & unmarked. An unclipped Near Fine DJ. "Quackenbush captures the essence of his subject through a straightforward writing style with little fictionalization. Myths about Crockett are explained by his enthusiasm for yarn-spinning and an almanac published after Crockett's death that embellished his adventures. In humorous asides, two raccoons discuss some of the myths, one quoting the almanac and the other making sarcastic comments. Two-tone pen-and-ink drawings are appropriate to the subject and text. Crockett is shown in every picture with the traditional coonskin cap on his head, but the epilogue states that this too may be a myth. ; 9.3 X 7.3 X 0.3 inches; 36 pages .
