Taking Davy Crockett down

February 26, 2003 Posted by Scott at 3:31 PM

In 1956 my parents bought me a Davy Crockett costume complete with powder horn and coonskin cap. I idolized the character Fess Parker brought to life in the thrilling movies Disney made in 1955 and 1956. It hurts like hell to read Hugh Hewitt's WorldNetDaily column about what Disney is doing to Davy in its remake of the wonderful "Davy Crockett" movies and television episodes: "Disney remembers a different Alamo."
