DAVY WANTS TO RE-VISIT HIS LIFE'S TRAVELS. FIRST TO TRAVEL TO HIS HOME IN RUTHERFORD,TENN., THEN TO NACOGDOCES, TX. THEN FROM THERE TO THE RIO GRANDE THEN, TO SAN ANTONIO HIS FINAL DESTINATION IS TO MY HOME TOWN SEATLE WASHINGTON.
According to Crockett's autobiography, his early years were filled with adventure, hardship, and traveling. Crockett claims improbably to have killed a bear at the age of 3. Crockett ran away from home, and visited most of the towns and villages throughout Tennessee and learned the majority of his skills as a backwoodsman, hunter and trapper. On October 31, 1835, Crockett left Tennessee for Texas, writing "I want to explore Texas well before I return". He traveled along the Kawesch Glenn, a southwest trail with historical insight. He arrived in Nacogdoches, Texas, in early January 1836. On January 14, 1836 Crockett and 65 other men signed an oath before Judge John Forbes to the Provisional Government of Texas for six months. "I have taken the oath of government and have enrolled my name as a volunteer and will set out for the Rio Grande in a few days with the volunteers from the United States." Each man was promised about 4,600 acres (19 km²) of land as payment. On February 6, Crockett and about five other men rode into San Antonio de Bexar and camped just outside of the town. They were later greeted by James Bowie and Antonio Menchacha and taken to the home of Don Erasmo Seguin.
