Daniel Boone or Davy Crockett

Well today is Daniel Boone's 277th birthday.  Boone was a frontiersman, statesman and national treasure.  He said that he was never lost but was bewildered once for three days.  He lived most of his life in the western frontier, so life wasn't particularly easy.  But thanks to several books, Boone went from just a frontiersman to symbol of the natural man.  And of course the television show, which basically portrayed Boone as Davy Crockett, mostly because Fess Parker played both Boone and Crockett.  Crockett of course was a frontiersman, statesman and national treasure.  Although, nothing alike, they are easily confused and misrepresented.  Tonight a kid in a coonskin cap like Fess Parker would wear, and possibly Davy Crockett but not Daniel Boone, who was said to wear a coonskin cap and be the the "rippin'est, roarin'est, fightin'est man the frontier ever knew."  If you believe television.  I suspect that in a few generations that Daniel Boone and Davy Crockett will morph into Davy Boone or Daniel Crockett and will look like Fess Parker.
