…and I will go to Texas Davy Crockett – CED day 9.

Today is day 9 of the “Creative Everyday Challenge, 2014″.  Where I draw something and post it every day.  January’s Theme is “Past, Future, and present”

This day, in 1836 Davy Crockett wrote one of his last letters, I think the very last to congress – stating his intentions to move to Tejas (it was still Tejas then, not a state – Texas did not win independence until later).  A few days prior to his January 9 letter – he was having beers with friends in Memphis where he coined the well known idiom -“you may go to hell, and I will go to Texas” in reaction to that years elections.  See, he wasn’t a big fan of Jackson, or VanBuren or their policies.  And well he just lost his Congressional Seat in Tennessee.

I could work this one out a lot longer but I decided to stop at the concept.  not has happy as I was with last nights but hey, win some lose some.  Here you are, king of the wild Frontier.  (also, 2 months from now, back then, he will die in the stand at the Alamo).

And I will go to Texas, Davy Crockett
