Includes index and glossary.

Daniel Boone is the subject of many tall tales from the era of Westward Expansion, but many of his efforts to explore and tame the wilderness are true and exciting. The same can be said of frontiersman Davy Crockett, who died while fighting to protect the Alamo during the Texas Revolution. Annie Oakley is remembered for her marksmanship and for inspiring other women to follow her lead. Today, we still share stories about these historical figures. In this volume, readers will see how these three people became the American legends they are today.
