| Summary | "Colonel Crockett, the Texan Trailer" by Edward Sylvester Ellis is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The book follows the adventures of Colonel Davy Crockett, a famed hunter and folk hero, who embarks on a bear hunt in Texas. As the story unfolds, it presents themes of courage, survival, and the rough-and-tumble life of the American frontier during a time of significant conflict with Native American tribes. At the start of the book, Colonel Crockett is quickly drawn into an amusing interaction with a Dutchman in the woods while searching for a bear. The dialogue reveals Crockett's character as a quick-witted and bold hunter. However, the mood shifts as he becomes keenly aware of a bear he wants to hunt. He leaves the Dutchman in pursuit of the bear, but his quest soon intertwines with a more serious narrative when he encounters a young woman in distress, whose peril escalates into a fierce bear attack inside her cabin. The opening portion introduces both lighter moments and the dangers of the wilderness, setting the tone for the thrilling encounters and challenges Crockett and the others will face ahead.
