      @@TheSnowmanvocals it was some great shows....just a shame they didn't do a weekly show of Davey Crockett I'm sure they could have made some stories over the years between the two movies Disney produced. I mean after all they made Davey Crockett and the River pirates where he meets Mike Fink..which takes place long before what was seen in Davey Crockett King of the Wild Fronter.....years later another studio made a weekly Daneil Boone tv show with Fess Parker.

    My parents were immigrants from Italy, and when I was born my mother wanted me to have a true American name because my father wanted to name me Giovani. So my mother used to watch the Davy Crockett show in 1958 and decided "Davey" was an all American name. Thus my name David !!

    Thanks. This is tremendous work. In 1955 our family did not have a TV set. My dad was opposed to television. Instead of watching TV we did our homework and then played board games or cards. All the other kids were talking about the Disney series and I felt left out. Finally about 1958 or '59 we got a TV set. My dad became a big TV viewer too. I can remember we had a TV for the 1960 presidential election.

    Greenest state in the land of the free
    Raised in the woods, so he knew ev’ry tree
    Kilt him a bar when he was only 3
    Davy, Davy Crockett, king of the wild frontier
    Fought single-handed through the Injun War
    ‘Til the Creeks was whipped and peace was in store
    While he was handlin’ this risky chore
    Made himself a legend for evermore
    Davy, Davy Crockett, king of the wild frontier
    He give his word and he give his hand
    That his Injun friends could keep their land
    The rest of his life, he took the stand
    That justice was due every redskin band
    Davy, Davy Crockett, king of the wild frontier
    He went off to Congress an’ served a spell
    Fixin’ up the Governments an’ laws as well
    Took over Washington so we heered tell
    An’ patched up the crack in the Liberty Bell
    Davy, Davy Crockett, king of the frontier
    When he come home, his poliitickin’ done
    The western March had just begun
    So he packed his gear an’ his trusty gun
    An ‘lit out grinnin’ to follow the sun
    Davy, Davy Crockett, king of the wild frontier
    His land is biggest an’ his land is best
    From grassy plains to the mountain crest
    He’s ahead of us all, meetin’ the test
    Followin’ his legend into the West
    Davy, Davy Crockett, king of the wild frontier
    Davy, Davy Crockett, king of the wild frontier

    Rewatch the series, are you crazy? I watch it at least once a year on March 6 , this series is what got my interest into American History. I now own over 350 books on Crockett and the Alamo. I have all the Alamo movies , including the Silent Alamo movies . All this because of “Davy Crockett King of The Wild Frontier “!

      When my wife an I moved to Tennessee, a friend drove his big produce truck, my wife drove the car, I drove the van packed full, plus our two birds. I told you this so you would understand. I sang the ‘ Ballard of Davy Crockett’ over and over again and again all the way all 360 plus miles from point A to point B . There are more than just 22 verses to that great Ballard. Plus there is also the ‘Ballard of Mike Fink, King of the River’.

    Not quite as old as the song..But this was one of my favorites from child hood./along with many other folk songs..Maybe because Crockett was real maybe because it just so darn catchy. heck i was awe struck- i had set which included a coon cap ,knife and pistol;.Although the knife looked more like sting then Bowie...but hey i was so little then..lol. Fun song for fun times..

    Why was he infamous ? That means having a bad reputation , nefarious. That wasn’t his legacy or image in real life, in the television show, or historically.

      Well, that's on me lol. It was a bad call to use that word, I thought at the time it was a positive remark, only to see some other comments pointing out that it meant the opposite. So I own my mistake, and if I could edit that one little section out without deleting the video and reuploading it, I would. But most folks, I think know that I meant it as a positive, based on what I put in the description and that I put it up as a tribute to a man I consider a personal hero of mine.
      But I do appreciate you commenting and pointing out my error, I may edit the description and add a disclaimer, recognizing my mistake.

    I’m not sure the majority of people who comment here realize he was an actual frontiersman, congressman, fought for the Indians, killed a bear, etc. he led a storied life! Walt Disney brought Davy Crockett life to the screen for us back in the 50’s!!
    Davy Crockett died at the Battle of the Alamo at 49 yrs of age.

    I was 10 years old when the first episode aired in 1954. I had never heard of Davy Crockett or the Alamo. Well, I recently turned 80! I still have both 80-card sets of Davy Crocket cards (orange back & green back), I have the Dell comic books, the DVD collection of Crockett, including the river boat pirates and the keelboat race. I've visited the Alamo twice, read every thing I can get my hands re: Crockett and the Alamo. Oh, and in 1981 I took First Place in a black powder shooting match using my custom made flintlock long rifle. Looks like Ol' Betsy. I've taken a dozen deer and other prizes with this rifle.

      @@TheSnowmanvocalsAs @Lon6inu5 mentioned, the line "So, he shoulders his rifle & off he goes" can replace "Jackson's the general they sent to fight the foes" from the cobbled together film version of the preceding verse ("In 1813, the Creeks uprose, adding Redskin arrows to the country's woes..."), because there's another verse that mentions the future president that was also ommitted when the episodes were cut up to make the movie...
      "Andy Jackson is our general's name
      His regular soldiers we'll put to shame
      Those Redskin varmints us volunteers'll tame
      'Cause we got the guns with the surefire aim
      Davy! Davy Crockett!
      The Champion of us all"
      I know this is 2 years overdue (and these verses, much like the massacre of the word "Indian" ["In'jun"], might get demonitized due to certain words not being politically correct in today's ultra sensitive world), but I was referring to...
      "Headed back to war from the old home place
      But Redstick was leadin' a merry chase
      Fightin' & a-burnin' at a devil's pace
      South through the swamps
      Of the Florida trace
      Davy! Davy Crockett!
      Trackin' the Redskins down"
      There are also bits from the "Congress" & "At The Alamo" sections also omitted from the Disney film version of the song (although some of the missing verses are on the album version of the story, which is narrated by Buddy Ebsen as Georgie Russell, despite everyone dying at the end as historical accounts dictate, regardless).
      For example, after Davy & his friends give their lives at the siege of The Alamo, most versions don't include the lines "Storybooks tell they were all cut low, but the truth of it is, this jest ain't so. Their spirits will live & their legends grow, as long as we 'Remember The Alamo'. Davy! Davy Crockett! And Crockett's company. Davy! Davy Crockett! Fightin' for liberty!" used by the Disney film, they instead replace it with...
      "His land is biggest & his land is best
      From grassy pain, to the mountain crest
      He's ahead of us all, meeting the test
      Following his legend into the West
      Davy! Davy Crockett! King of the Wild Frontier!" (2X)
