With the rewriting of history now going on in the schools few children will ever know who Davy Crockett was. Sad. Sad also to lose a fine actor who portrayed him.

He was "King of the wild frontier".

As a kid, I had the record and a coon skin cap.

Someone should change the text to read "Wolverines!"

That’s sad. I grew up watching all the Davy Crokett episodes. Rest in peace, Mr. Parker.
