Davy Crockett & The Alamo, 1836
by W. Wm. Mee
Say the name Davy Crockett and most people will probably think of a rugged frontiersman wearing a coonskin cap and a buckskin shirt. Well, that's all thanks to Walt Disney and the black-and-white world of 1950s TV. So here's my version of 'Davy Crocket—King of the Wild Frontier!'
