Fine Books Blog: Texas Pays $490,000 for Fake Crockett Letter?: "The governor of Texas personally announced two days ago that the state of Texas had coughed up about half a million dollars for Davy Crockett's last letter, written to his children, two months before the Alamo. 'Today we're here for a very special purpose,' Governor Rick Perry said at the unveiling ceremony, 'To peer through the mists of time.' Unfortunately, the 'mists' may be the mists of wishful thinking. Everett Wilkie, a library security expert, has been posting about this on the ExLibris mailing list [here, here]"

I saw on the news that Davy Crockett "experts" say the letter is not authentic, that the handwriting is different from other examples of his handwriting. I hope it's real.
If it's a fake, that would be a typical expenditure of state funds.
I think the paragraph in which he discusses potential merchandising revenues for copies of his coonskin cap was a clue that this letter isn't authentic.
Either that or the one where he complained that Fess Parker looked nothing like him.
Yeah, I always felt that Fess Parker looked more like Dan'l Boone than Davy Crockett. But only when Mingo was around.
