Fess Parker RIP

Actor Fess Parker, the actor who portrayed both Davy Crockett and Daniel Boone, has died.

Brian Sibley remembers him fondly... and links to this:



---------------------------
A piece of trivia about the real Davy Crockett: Most people know about "Davy Crockett Indian Fighter" and Davy Crockett at the Alamo" but did you know this:
As a congressman, Crockett vehemently opposed many of the policies of President Andrew Jackson, most notably the Indian Removal Act. Crockett's opposition to Jackson's policies led to his defeat in the 1834 elections...

Hmm...Davy Crockett, defender of minority rights...
