“Most folks think of David Crockett as the buckskin clad, coonskin cap wearing King of the Wild Frontier; an image Crockett embraced to further his lifelong political ambitions. 

“But, early on, the Colonel largely traded his backwoods bear hunts for backroom political sausage making, and David Barnett Goldman’s new novel, The Bugbear Hunter, is a rollicking read that is rich in detail and colorful characters that effectively captures the zeitgeist of Washington City in the 1830s.”

James R. Boylston, author of David Crockett In Congress: The Rise and Fall of the Poor Man’s Friend
