A five-year-old descendant of Davy Crockett shot and killed a 445-lb black bear in Arkansas last Sunday. There are many many many amusing things about this story, but the most amusing one to me was this quote: "His 10th great-grandfather was Davy Crockett."
Davy Crockett died at the age of 49 in 1836 in the Battle of the Alamo (where apparently there is not a basement). That was 171 years ago. If you figure even the most rednecked of clans start to procreate at 20 years old, this puts a 1oth great-grandfather somewhere in the French and Indian War. So what we've really learned about the Crocketts is not that they like guns (which I assume across the board whenever "Arkansas" is mentioned), but they get to bangin' and impreggerin' at a dang early early age.I think the follow up article will be about how the 5-year-old Crockett explained his hunting experience to his 2-year-old son.
