Famed frontiersman, politician, and folk hero (1786–1836) who became famous for his shrewd and humorous speeches; he was killed at the Alamo during the Texas Revolution. Sought-after ink signature, "Attest, David Crockett,” on an off-white 5.5 x 1.75 slip clipped from an 1833 bill of sale. In very good to fine condition, with light soiling and uneven edges. Accompanied by an ALS by his son Robert Patton Crockett, signed "R. P. Crockett," one page, 8 x 6.75, November 7, 1873, in full: "In compliance with your request I here inclose you my Father's signature cut from an old bill of sale written in the year 1833 this is a true sketch of his hand writing." Shortly after Davy Crockett was killed at the Alamo, his son Richard left his home in Tennessee, went to Texas, and joined the revolution, remaining in the service until independence had been secured. A remarkable, highly desirable early American autograph, enhanced by its familial provenance.
