  1. We are honored that CROCKETT'S LAST STAND is a part of this summer's Strawberry Festival, and look forward to bringing this little known, yet amazing chapter of Congressman David Crockett's life, wherein he takes a gallant, politically suicidal stand against Andrew Jackson, the Indian Relocation Act of 1830, his own limitations, and the festering political corruption of the time. Sound familiar? TICKETS NOW ON SALE!
