{"product_id":"9780811737432","title":"Davy Crockett's Riproarious Shemales and Sentimental Sisters","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe legendary feats of Davy Crockett, who could tree a ghost, ride his thirty-seven-foot-long alligator up Niagara Falls, and drink up the Mississippi River, are common knowledge to devotees of this nineteenth-century comic superhero. But what may come as a surprise to many is that the legendary frontiersman also served as the fictional narrator of a collection of outrageous tall tales about women in the same Crocket Almanacs in which he \"recorded\" his own adventures. Conceived as a marketing device by nineteenth-century publishers hoping to gain a share of the lucrative almanac market, such stories made these slim volumes the best-selling and longest-running series of comic almanacs published in the United States before the Civil War. Booking back at them now, the Crocket Almanacs offer a true \"fun house mirror\" view of the culture of antebellum America.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"STACKPOLE BOOKS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51185738514706,"sku":"9780811737432","price":34.39,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0508\/3093\/4173\/files\/9780811737432.jpg?v=1774737921","url":"https:\/\/bargainbooks.com.au\/products\/9780811737432","provider":"Bargain Books Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
