The State of Texas cannot authenticate a letter supposed to have been written by the granddaddy of all Tennessee Volunteers, Davy Crockett (a.k.a., "King of the Wild Frontier"), so it will not be paying almost $500,000 for it.Crockett is as much a legendary figure in Texas as he is in Tennessee (where he was a soldier, State Legislator, and Congressman), mainly because of his death at the the Battle of the Alamo during the Texas Revolution. He also told others to go to hell because he was going to Texas. What's not to like about that?
