Note: I remember the early black and white
television series about the life and exploits of
Davy Crockett when I was growing up in my
grandparent’s house in Wisconsin. Walt
Disney adapted Crockett's stories into
a television miniseries titled Davy Crockett,
which aired between 1954 and 1955. The
series popularized the image of Crockett,
portrayed by Fess Parker, wearing a coonskin
cap, and originated the song "The Ballad of
Davy Crockett" (see link below).
