Maybe one of these days I'll reprint it. Other Almanack stories had Davy doing such things as riding comets through the sky, so they are not meant to be believed. <br /><br />Another story, that has been used in children's books, involves Davy and a pet bear named Deathhug. Another enjoyable whopper.<br /><br />Since the Disney Davy was so popular with us kids back in the 50s, some have seen him a kids hero ever since.Evan Lewishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07620731784654779358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4705940625481143611.post-55903718129266037672010-10-05T08:37:55.292-07:002010-10-05T08:37:55.292-07:00Love the sketching.

When i was a kid, in Spain was broadcasted a live action TV series dedicated to american tales and legends and famous people of your country.<br /><br />One i remember very well is the one dedicated to Davy Crockett. Since was a kid's show i doubt if is real or not the thing about his pet bear. (In the series he called him "friend").<br /><br />Is real? The historic mr. crockett has a bear?Deka Blackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08328847551867893941noreply@blogger.com
