Chucky and Mother were home the day the deliveryman brought the crate into their living room. They could not imagine what might be in such a big box, but Mother let little Chucky open the crate by himself even though he was only three years old. Inside was the most beautiful puppy he had ever seen. Chucky named the pup Ginger, and she became part of their family. From the moment they met, Chucky and Ginger loved one another; the bond between them would last for many years. During the summer of 1952, Chucky, Ginger, and their whole family prepared to move from their home in Kansas to a new home in Indiana. Before making the big trip, though, it was decided: they would all spend the summer in North Carolina. Grandmother and Granddaddy South lived on a tobacco farm, and upon Chucky's arrival, the adventures begin. Chucky and his sister Sandy explore to their hearts' content. Even uncles and aunts join in the fun as one loving family spends a magical summer together.

Even as a pup, Davy Crockett "always delighted to be in the very thickest of danger." In his own inimitable style, he describes his earliest days in Tennessee, his two marriages, his career as an Indian fighter, his bear hunts, and his electioneering. His reputation as a b'ar hunter (he killed 105 in one season) sent him to Congress, and he was voted in and out as the price of cotton (and his relations with the Jacksonians) rose and fell. In 1834, when this autobiography appeared, Davy Crockett was already a folk hero with an eye on the White House. But a year later he would lose his seat in Congress and turn toward Texas and, ultimately, the Alamo.

Suspicious of the stranger’s intentions, he teams up with his uncle Wayne – a master of aboriginal martial arts – to drive the stranger from the Reserve.
