Crockett joined the US army in 1813 and he served under Andrew Jackson, fighting the Creek Indians in the southeastern US until 1814. After becoming a Colonel in 1818, Crockett went on to serve in the Tennessee legislature from 1821 to 1822 and from 1823 to 1824, and represented Tennessee in the U.S. Congress from 1827 to 1831 and from 1833 to 1835. In 1834, Crockett wrote his autobiography, "A Narrative of the Life of David Crockett, of the State of Tennessee."
After losing a congressional election in 1836, Crockett decided that his political career was over. Crockett soon took his family to settle near San Antonio, Texas, which had recently delclared its independence from Mexico. Crockett and almost 200 other Texan volunteers died on March 6, 1836 in the Battle of the Alamo, after unsuccessfully defending the Alamo for 13 days against an army of Mexican soldiers.
