Little is known of Horatio Bunce, but for one very common story told by Davey Crockett and recorded by Edward S. Ellis. In this story Crockett is reprimanded for unconstitutional spending when he provided relief of $20,000 to victims of a fire in Georgetown.
[edit] Not Yours To Give
US House Representative Davey Crockett met up with Horatio Bunce while back in Tennessee visiting his district. During this first meeting Bunce explained to Crockett that he did not intend to vote for him again on account of an unconstitutional bill for which Crockett had voted. After an enlightening exchange Crockett saw the error of his way and was a 'new man'. He later related this story to Edward S. Ellis, who told of it in his book The Life of Colonel David Crockett.[1]
