It would be next to impossible to locate any person, in a civilized country, who could have had diminished scope for ethical culture compared to what Crockett got in his childhood days. (Andrew, pp: 14-16) .

             Immediately after he started his primary education, Crockett fled from home to avoid getting rebuked by his father. Crockett described this behavior as a calculated departure, which persisted for the years when he started earning a living for himself as a worker on daily wages and also performed other errands to take care of himself. The impulsive chap, uninitiated about the snowballing effect, was determined to try to surmount any danger, despite every opposition. He ignored adversity and pulled on in high spirits weathering every obstacle. He was able bodied, possessed an excellent temperament, and was resilient to any type of job. There was no looming threat of him getting ravenous; and endurances, which most would think adversity, didn't dodge him down. Without getting appalled, he wandered, clutching on to whatever job he could secure for himself, till he had made him some provision of outfits and only some money in his wallet. On his coming home, his fortunes had changed to such an extent that his family members failed to identify him initially. But ultimately when they could identify him, he realized that the past has been pardoned. David responded to their kindness by engaging in a job for nearly one year to pay off his family's loan and thereafter resumed schooling. (Andrew, pp: 45-48).

             We shall now take a look at some other events wherein we can find his virtue by means of his love for his fellow countrymen. David during his younger days was not a petulant person and he stayed clear of scuffles and hostility. There had been no incident in his life to measure his guts till he joined the Army. Even though hunting thrilled him, however little threat was present in it. Stags and smaller animals didn't pose any threat.
