  • Daniel Boone (1964-1970)

    Daniel Boone is an American action-adventure television series starring Fess Parker as Daniel Boone
    that aired from September 24, 1964 to September 10, 1970 on NBC for 165 episodes,
    and was made by 20th Century Fox Television.
    Ed Ames co-starred as Mingo, Boone's Cherokee friend, for the first four seasons of the series.
    Albert Salmi portrayed Boone's companion Yadkin in season one only.
    Dallas McKennon portrayed innkeeper Cincinnatus.
    Country Western singer-actor Jimmy Dean was a featured actor as Josh Clements
    during the 1968–1970 seasons.
    Actor and former NFL football player Rosey Grier made regular appearances
    as Gabe Cooper in the 1969 to 1970 season.
    The show was broadcast "in living color" beginning in fall 1965,
    the second season, and was shot entirely in California and Kanab, Utah.



    So similar was Fess Parkers portrayal of Daniel Boone,
    was to his Davy Crockett's,that audiences became confused
    between the two!


    Daniel Boone was one of two iconic historical figures played by Fess Parker.
    He previously appeared as Davy Crockett in a series of episodes
    of the Disney anthology television series, to considerable acclaim.
    For his role as Boone, which lasted far longer but had arguably less impact,
    Parker again wore a raccoon-hide coonskin cap,
    which had been popularized years earlier by the Crockett shows.
    Daniel Boone's headgear was even mentioned in the show's theme song:
    "From the coonskin cap on the top of ol' Dan...."
    although the real life Daniel Boone did not actually wear a coonskin cap.
