RebAl, what is the signifacence of the bust being on display in Trenton? I hope RebAl doesn't mind me responding. Trenton is the capitol for Gibson County, TN. Gibson Cty is located in west TN, a few miles northeast of Memphis. In the early 19th C., David Crocket was one of the first settlers in the area (northeast of Rutherford). He helped form and get recognized Gibson County in 1823. And, his son John W. was born in Trenton.  |

I just noticed on the map how a town near Gibson is called 'ALAMO'.

Driving through west Texas as often as I have, I'm always surprised and wondering why, in one of these west Texas towns, there is a billboard to visit the Davy Crockett monument, wondering why there is a statue of Davy so far west of San Antonio, since he never, as far as I know, made it west of San Antonio.

I'm sure you mean this statue located on the main square in the big town of Ozona, Texas -- which is in Crockett County.  |
