Red Gauntlet , SASS 60619 Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 I'm sure there are some, actually, including some who have fought in battles; just as there have been many in the past who have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusty Wyatt Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 I think Davey Crockett was probably my first hero as a very young boy. I remember waiting for Sunday night to watch The Wonderful World of Disney and sitting on the floor glued to the TV set. Those three or four episodes about Davey Crockett really impressed me at six years old. Hell, they would probably still impress me now. I think I will see if I can find them on DVD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I will see if I can find them on DVD Read that and thought "Was it really only 3 or 4?" Thought it was at least a dozen. Was 3 plus 2 later as Keelboat Race and River Pirates" A total of 5 shows. Now available on DVD as the two mini series combined. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Davy_Crockett_(miniseries) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duffield, SASS #23454 Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 I am now living about 15 miles from his birthplace. He had a remarkable life, and always stayed true to his convictions, even when it cost him his seat in Congress. He was known as "David Crockett" - "Davey" was an invention of Walt Disney.

Trailrider #896 Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Can you imagine any congersman or sin-ator wearing a racoonskin cap? Maybe a skunkskin cap, like the youngster in John Wayne's "The Alamo" was wearing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
