[Rhodes22-list] Source of 'this one'

[Michael Meltzer]

I got it from my "standard joke channel", It was to good :-) expressly for this hornets nest, so I used the same standards that the
New York Times uses and did not check :-) and figured Bill would nail me in "urbane legends". why should facts get in the way of a
good story :-)


Well I just did a search on goggle with the opening line "CROCKETT was then the lion of Washington", and found this book reface(in a
few places)

NOTE: The following essay, which frequently circulates the Internet and is therefore believed in the public domain, is from The Life
of Colonel David Crockett, compiled by Edward S. Elis and first published in 1884. The narrator, who is unidentified, apparently
served in Congress with Crockett sometime during 1827-1835.


Now I would say that the book was written 50 years after the story, so it might be a 1800's "urbane legend". I did not try to back
trake it futher.
