America Unearthed (2012)
S03E01 Secrets from the Alamo
Episode Overview
Davy Crockett, a figure of American folklore, is famously known for his final stand at the Alamo during the conflict with Mexico, where he is believed to have died heroically. However, new findings challenge this narrative. An individual from Alabama reaches out to Scott Wolter regarding a land claim purportedly signed by Crockett almost two decades after his supposed death. As Scott delves deeper, he uncovers more about Crockett's life, his ties to a secret society, and his role in the Texas Revolution at the Alamo. This investigation reveals that history may have misrepresented Crockett's end, suggesting that General Santa Anna might have actually spared his life in an unexpected turn of events.
