| Summary |
"In Texas with Davy Crockett" by John T. McIntyre is a historical adventure written in the early 20th century. The narrative centers around two boys, Walter Jordan and Ned Chandler, as they embark on a journey to Texas, seeking to assist a girl named Ethel Norton, who has inherited a fortune. Their trip becomes complicated due to the presence of adversaries like Colonel Huntley and Sam Davidge, who have their own interests in the unfolding Texas conflict. The opening portion of the book introduces us to the boys aboard the steamboat "Mediterranean" as they make their way down the Mississippi River. They are alert to the suspicious presence of Sam Davidge and Colonel Huntley, who seem to be plotting against them. As tensions rise, Walter and Ned engage in an altercation with Barker, Huntley's enforcer, which escalates into a public fight that they ultimately win. Shortly after, they encounter the famed Davy Crockett who, having heard of their mission, decides to join them on their quest to San Antonio, heightening the stakes of their adventure and setting the tone for an exciting journey filled with peril and camaraderie.
