William R. Chemerka : Fess Parker: TV's Frontier Hero before purchasing it in order to gage whether or not it would be worth my time, and all praised Fess Parker: TV's Frontier Hero:

0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. One of the best Biographies out there.By M.T. FisherI've read many Hollywood biographies and gone, "Dang. Another one of them who's just one of those people I hope I never meet, as they're jerks." And then I read this book, and discover that Fess Parker was EXACTLY what he portrayed onscreen. (Clayton Moore was another.) And that was so nice to know. Chemerka had the pleasure of knowing Fess Parker for over two decades, thus was close to the man. He has a wonderful writing style that makes you wish you too had known him. You actually feel like when Parker portrayed Davy Crockett and Daniel Boone, he let the honesty and homespuness (If there is such a word.) of these men slip into his actual character for the rest of his life. I wish I'd had the pleasure of meeting him.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. King of the wild frontier for sure.By country boyIncredible book. It was very detailed and revealing look into the life of a man that loved God, his family and his country. He displayed true moral fiber and believed in kindness and fairness to every man. He helped his friends, and did so much more charitable work and donations than was ever reported. It didn't matter if you were a stranger. This man always cared what every man had to say. He was my hero growing up. The world is a better pace for having him make his mark on several generations. Daniel Boone was a man, and so was Fess Parker. Read this book. It is very very good.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Fess Parker fans will love this!By Dorothy ChristensonBeing a long time fan of Fess Parker - since childhood with Davy Crockett and particularly Daniel Boone - I thoroughly enjoyed this biography . It was nice to discover that he was a pretty much all round , easy going gentleman . Old fashioned virtues of honesty , kindness , patience and loyalty I wish we saw more of today .I was particularly touched that he took young Darby Hinton ( played Israel Boone) under his wing on and off the show as Darby had lost his own rather early.And it was interesting to read about the businessman and winery he and his children built!I would recommend this.

Fess became a contract player with Warner Bros., appearing in small roles in several films, such as Springfield Rifle (1952), Island in the Sky, The Bounty Hunter, and Battle Cry. In 1954, he appeared as Great Dalton in the Jim Davis syndicated anthology series, Stories of the Century in the episode ldquo;The Dalton Brothers.rdquo; Walt Disney picked him over James Arness and other actors to star as Davy Crockett in a three-part mini series entitled Davy Crockett (1954ndash;55), a tremendous hit that led to a merchandising frenzy for coonskin caps and all things Crockett.
