Boone and Crockett (A&E DVD Archives)
Of the many pioneers who crossed the Allegheny Mountains to begin a new life in the wilderness, we look at two who were singled out for immortality: Daniel Boone and David Crockett (born two generations after Boone). Boone brought civilization and Jeffersonian values to the rugged frontier and Crockett fought for the poor and dispossessed and against the forced removal of the Southeastern Indians. We see how these famed hunters, fighters, and American heroes came to represent the common man.
