Many of these stories are of real people and real events; more than a few, however, grew taller and funnier as they made their rounds from wagon train to campfire to rodeo to miners' quarters. But even if it is far from established that Daniel Boone and Davy Crockett were able to kill three men with one bullet or subdue ferocious grizzly bears with their fists, they come vividly to life here as beloved characters who have become part of the fabric of the American imagination.\n\nWith black-and white illustrations throughout\nPart of the Pantheon Fairy Tale and Folklore Library\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0375702660\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.0375702660.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Erdoes, Richard\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
