Description

Rare signature of legendary frontiersman and Alamo defender David Crockett

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. Rare ink signature, “David Crockett,” on an off-white 4 x 1.75 slip, clipped from the closing of a letter by Cave Johnson, a fellow Tennessee Representative, whose signature appears above Crockett's. Handsomely archivally mounted, cloth-matted, and framed with an engraved portrait of Crockett to an overall size of 11 x 14.5. In very good condition, with mild irregular toning. Accompanied by a full letter of authenticity from PSA/DNA. An important and difficult-to-acquire American signature.
