Fess Parker: Vaya Con Dios, Davey

I had the hat. I had the flintlock. He was my first hero after my uncle fighting in Korea.

A big life well lived. My uncle's too.


Extra: A 30 minute clip in which Actor Fess Parker discusses his role as "Davy Crockett".

I had the hat too. Davy Crockett was also an interesting politician. There are stories about the lessons he learned the hard way that we have forgotten.

Broke my cork ball long rifle spiking it with firecracker powder.

RIP Mr. Parker.

the worst thing about our generation passing is that there are few people of integrity and talent being brought up to replace us.
