A sketch in the Courier Journal a year ago supplied me with some pleasing suggestions. The destruction by fire of the early records of the town and county, has deprived me of much valuable material. I feel this sketch is very imperfect and almost unworthy of publication. It may, however, provoke investigation and develop new facts. I trust, at least, it will serve to preserve in the memories of the coming generations what has been gathered up concerning the history of our early days.-R. R. -

King Crockett: Nature and Civility on the American Frontier
King Crockett: Nature and Civility on the American Frontier CATHERINE L. ALBANESE IN THE WILDS of Oregon, sometime in the early-to-mid- nineteenth century, Davy Crockett and others heard rumors of mammoth buffaloes. One man asked Crockett for some assis- tance, as Crockett himself related: 'One great nobleman of- fered to have me baptized a nobleman if I would only take him nigh enough to 'em Qhe buffaloes] to take thar likenesses without danger o' gettin used all to pieces, but I told him that nobility war nobody to me, an that I, or any other true gritted Republican was the noblest thing in all creation, an that I'd brave it by catchin the two four legged screamers, and bringin 'em to him for nothin.'^ Another time, when Crockett found himself in Haiti at an interview with its emperor, he refused to kneel before the prince. 'I am Col. Davy Crockett, one of the sovereign people of Uncle Sam,' he said, 'that never kneels to any individual on this side of sunshine.'^ The Crockett who figured in both of these incidents never Research for this paper was conducted at the American Antiquarian Society with the aid of a Fred Harris Daniels Fellowship granted by the Society during the summer of 1977. I wish to express my gratitude especially to John B. Hench, research and publi- cation officer, and to William L. Joyce, curator of manuscripts, for their assistance. Criticisms of an earlier paper on Crockett by Profs. Sandra S. Sizer and Charles H. Long have helped to shape my interpretation. -

David Crockett in Kentucky
3 DAVID CROCKETT IN KENTUCKY Royce E. Flood While traveling through Kentucky in July of 1834, Congressman David Crockett of Tennessee delivered political addresses in Louisville and Elizabethtown. In these speeches he proclaimed the standard Whig position and strongly attacked President Andrew Jackson for partisan operation of the post office, for opposing the Second Bank of the United States, and for political inconsistency. Crockett also attempted to present favorable images of himself and a negative picture of the President. These speeches are excellent examples of the day's political oratory and also indicate the nature of the opposition to Jackson which existed in the President's home state. 4 During the third week of July, 1834, the citizens of northern Kentucky played host to a most distinguished visitor. Colonel David Crockett, the noted Tennesse congressman, passed through their region on his way horne from Washingon. Prompted by local officials, he delivered two major addresses, in Louis ville and Elizabethtown, which forcefully presented the prevail ing Whig position on the issues of the day and roundly denounced President Andrew Jackson. This paper will analyze both the issues and images presented in these speeches in an attempt to reveal the nature of the speaker and of the era's partisan political oratory. 1834 was the climactic year of David Crockett's life. 1 He had risen from initial poverty to become a dominant figure on the frontier and one of the nation's noted citizens. The major elements in this climb were a native intelligence, a gift for witty speech, a favorable record as a soldier in the Creek Wars, and a fortunate second marriage to a wealthy widow. -
