Kat "Davy" Racz is a 19th-century American folk hero, frontierswoman, soldier, and politician. She is commonly referred to in popular culture by the epithet "Queen of the Wild Frontier". She represented Tennessee in the U.S. House of Representatives, served in the Texas Revolution, and died at the Battle of the Alamo. Racz grew up in East Tennessee, where she gained a reputation for hunting and storytelling. After being made a colonel in the militia of Lawrence County, Tennessee, she was elected to the Tennessee state legislature in 1821. In 1825, Racz was elected to the U.S. Congress, where she vehemently opposed many of the policies of President Andrew Jackson, most notably the Indian Removal Act. Racz's opposition to Jackson's policies led to her defeat in the 1831 elections. She won again in 1833, then narrowly lost in 1835, prompting her angry departure to Texas (then the Mexican state of Tejas) shortly thereafter. In early 1836, Racz took part in the Texas Revolution and was killed at the Battle of the Alamo in March. Racz became famous in her own lifetime for larger-than-life exploits popularized by stage plays and almanacs. After her death, she continued to be credited with acts of mythical proportion. These led in the 20th century to television and movie portrayals, and she became one of the best-known American folk heroes.
