Google says Daniel Boone was " produced by Twentieth Century-Fox Film Corporation".

The model train folks got into the craze and had H-O scale engines themed to the Great Chase!

I was a kid glued to the screen of the TV watching Davy Crockett. My grandmother had a powder horn hanging in her house that had belonged to her grandfather (Company K, 13th Virginia Infantry, 1841-1913) and she gave it to me because I liked Davy Crockett so much. Here it is 7 decades later:

Bit before my time, but not by much. I came by my interest in him through history. I visited the Davy (subsequently changed to David) Crockett Birthplace State Park along the Nolichucky River in Tennessee a few years back. My mom is from a small town in East Tennessee. Sadly, the park got hammered really bad from the hurricane flooding earlier this year. The cabin is gone, the museum and visitors center got flooded badly.

Just watched both the other night. Have them on DVDI loved the Disney Davy as a kid; never noticed things like I saw on TV recently; filmed in Florida where they're fightin' the Seminoles; the chief has a Plains Indian Buffalo-horn head-dress! Then Davey is wading thru water, at one point his horn goes into the drink! They ALL have horns that are WAY too long hanging way down flopping around. Like many here, I got started in history by watching the series on Disneyland TV Sunday nights in the 50's, so I'm being loving, not critical! The attacking Mexicans at the Alamo climax actually look pretty good! Uniforms, etc. It was a shock as a kid to see them "go down"! They followed up with the River Pirates episodes, remember Big Mike Fink?? Who could forget him?

Looks like I am mistaken on the studio for at least some of the Boone series, but it still seems to me there was some connection between Fess Parker and Disney.
Maybe it was the Davey Crockett series/movie.

I watched the series every night that it was on TV, which was one night a week.
It is not a stretch to say that the Crockett and Boone series’ were the primary influence on kickstarting the renewed interest in black powder shooting.
The later Jeremiah Johnson movie also caused a lot of interest in BP shooting as well.
Yes you are on the right track. There was some sort of issue over money or contract with Disney I read somewhere. Old Walt was a hard-a$$.
