And what better hunter to model it on than Fess Parker's Davy Crockett, who drove a whole generation to don coonskin caps. TV screens that year showed Gene Autry still riding the range, Lucille Ball as the star of "I Love Lucy," and Parker as "Davy Crockett," a show so popular it spurred sales of 100 million coonskin caps nationwide. In the 1950's children went to school wearing coonskin caps in admiration of Davy Crockett. |
