But aside from the devastating end of his career, very little is known about it. His wife and three or four kids made up his family. A son was born just before he set sail, or during the Atlantic crossing, and he gave him the name John. The family most likely arrived in Philadelphia and spent a year or two living someplace in Pennsylvania in one of those slab shanties, which are known to everyone as the homes of the poorest class of Irish immigrants. After a few years, Crockett traveled across the very impassable Alleghanies with his small family. The only ways to get food, shelter, and even clothing were with the hatchet and the rifle. A cozy camp that would shield them from the wind and rain could be built with the hatchet in about an hour.
