Many obituaries were published after Crockett's death. Most of them have factual errors and inaccuracies replaced by some of the 'myths' which came with the cult of celebrity - however, I think they remind us of how significant Crockett's writing was in his own day.

It was probably written by William Robertson Nicoll, an early Crockett Champion.
