This is a description of a group of 21 "Davy Crockett Almanacks," dating from 1835 through 1856. My boss, Dorothy Sloan, will be selling these at auction sometime in the next couple of months. I’ve posted a page with zoomable images of the front and back covers of each almanac. They are illustrated with really amazing woodcuts that I thought you might like looking at and sharing.

They’re fantastic: LinkThanks Aaron!
