Davy Crockett Is Dead, but How He Died Lives On.

An account of Davy Crockett's death that differs from the popular version is found in the José Enrique de la Peña narrative that reports that Mexican soldiers captured Crockett and executed him. A thirty-year old controversy that began 120 years after the Battle of the Alamo with the 1955 publication in Mexico City of Peña's memoir surrounds this document and its accounting of Crockett death.
