Crockett says: "I told the people that I could not stand that.

It was a step above my knowledge; and I know'd nothing about Congress matters." They persisted; but he lost the election; for cotton was very high, and Alexander urged that it was in consequence of the Tariff.

Two years passed away, which Crockett spent in the wildest adventures of hunting.
He was a true man of the woods with no ambition for any better home than the log cabin he occupied.

There was no excitement so dear to him as the pursuit and capture of a grizzly bear.

There is nothing on record, in the way of hunting, which surpasses the exploits of this renowned bear-hunter.
