Remembering Crockett

13/4/2024

 
Picture
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.  And certainly he's given me over a quarter of a century of pleasure in reading matter. 

To mark the 110th anniversary of his passing, I recently recorded 'The Bookman' obituary. It was probably written by William Robertson Nicoll, an early Crockett Champion.
