John Wesley Crockett, his son, in a letter (9 July 1836), as quoted in David Crockett: Hero of the Common Man (2005) by William Groneman III
“
He is gone from among us, and is no more to be seen in the walks of men, but in his death like Sampson, he slew more of his enemies than in all his life. Even his most bitter enemies here, I believe, have buried all animosity, and join the general lamentation over his untimely end.
