[ALMANAC]. CROCKETT, David (1786-1836). "Go Ahead!" The Crockett Almanac 1840. Containing Adventures. Exploits, Sprees & Scrapes in the West, & Life and Manners in the Backwoods. Nashville: Ben Harding, [1840].
8o (203 x 130 mm). 36 pages. Woodcuts in text. Stitched (some wear to edges as usual).
Several almanacs bear Crockett's name. With stories of Crockett's life and adventures becoming more exaggerated and fantastical over time, the present shows many hyperbolic woodcuts, such as that on the front wrapper where Crockett is scared by an owl. See Sabin 17576. Allen, Tennessee Imprints 1545; American Imprints 55899 (locating 4 copies); Howes C897n.
