The book is a readable account of the Conquest of the Mexica empire. Unfortunately, I think the author fails to situate the episode in its temporal and cultural context; it feels more like an adventure story than history. It is also full of innacuracies, which suggest that the author is only superficially familiar with its topic. For example, Levy writes that the ancient city of Tula is located in what is today Mexico City, when in reality is in the state of Hidalgo, some 40 miles away. We are also told that Nahuatl was a Maya language, when in fact it belongs to a different language family altoghether.In my opinion, Hugh Thomas' account Conquest: Montezuma, Cortes, and the Fall of Old Mexicois a far superior piece, succeding in giving a better feel of the clash of two completely different worlds, with the main characters far better placed in their temporal and cultural context.

This review is of Buddy Levy's DAVID CROCKETT. But before I get to it, I'd like to say a few words about two other Levy books, RIVER OF DARKNESS and CONQUISTADOR, both of which are absolutely fabulous. The first tells of Pizarro and Orellana's trip down the Amazon, the second of Cortés invasion of Mexico. What strikes one in both books is the incredible suffering of the Spain invaders: Physical labor, dysentery, malaria, Indian attacks, drowning, continuous combat--they went through nearly every calamity the earth could offer at that time, including having their hair set afire by a volcano, only to return home (the very few that did) to find disrepute and additional wretchedness (Pizarro murdered after all he had gone through, Orellana and Cortés dying of exploration-related illnesses). In fact, they went through a Hell even unimagined by the imaginative Dante. These men were no angels. Pizarro had a group of friendly Indians tortured in order to learn about El Dorado, then he had them thrown to his dogs for food while still alive. The Indians weren't angels either. Entering a village, Cortés came upon the still-steaming bodies of 50 boys, their hearts piled on a platter, sacrificed in order that the sun arise the following day. Mathew White in his THE GREAT BIG BOOK OF HORRIBLE THINGS states that 1,200,000 boys were so murdered, this added to the sum of those martyred because of religion, superstition and other forms of ignorance since the beginning of time. Both books are MUST reading. Now for DAVIS CROCKETT: I just cannot fathom why he became famous. He killed plenty of bears, some Indians, he was elected to government posts, mostly because there was no other opposition on the frontier, he had his slaves harvest the cotton that made his fortune, he married one woman for love, a second to care for his two boys. Where's the Crockett of my youth that everyone sang about? À table he drank water from the finger bowl and accused the waiter of stealing his food when the waiter thought Crockett had finished. I couldn't care less about his table manners, but accusing the waiter of stealing is a bit much. Perhaps he's famous due to his death at the Alamo? My own books can be found on Amazon under Michael Hone.
