Sunrise In His Pocket

Known as a legendary frontiersman, a backwoods congressman, a martyred hero, and a pop culture icon, Davy Crockett has been an integral part of the American and Texan identity.

This exhibition paid homage to both the man and the myth by displaying artifacts from Crockett's life, along with objects that reflect his ongoing influence in American culture.

Sunrise in His Pocket was made possible by a generous grant from The Belo Foundation. Paul A. Hutton was the guest curator.
