Davy Crockett #1

When Big Bow enters a corn-eating contest at a local fair, his friend Little Arrow hatches a sneaky scheme to help him win—borrowing a paper picker to eat the corn for him. But Little Arrow's clever trick backfires in the worst way, leaving both friends facing unexpected consequences and a very unhappy paleface. This 1956 frontier romp proves that cheating at eating contests comes with a price.

When a ruthless candidate named Sime Doran threatens to kill anyone who votes against him in a frontier town election, the townspeople cower—until Davy Crockett arrives and decides to take on the bully himself, unarmed. Crockett's real fight isn't just physical; it's about inspiring ordinary folks to stand up for their right to vote, even if it means getting their hands dirty. This 1956 tale shows that sometimes the greatest victory isn't won with guns, but with courage.

Johnny Appleseed—the wandering planter born John Chapman—ventures into the raw American frontier with a singular dream: to plant apple trees across the unsettled lands from Massachusetts to the midwest. Befriending Native American tribes and warning settlers of approaching danger, he navigates the tensions between expanding civilization and the indigenous peoples whose hunting grounds are being transformed. This is the story of how one humble man's lifelong dedication to cultivation left an indelible living legacy across half a continent.
