Trivia
Walt Disney said that if he had known the success that Davy Crockett was going to have he wouldn't have killed him off in the third TV episode. See more »Goofs
Anachronisms: In his speech to the House of Representatives arguing against Jackson's expansion policies, Crockett uses the term "scalawags" twice. The term "scalawag" was not introduced until the 1840s, and was not widely used until after the Civil War, yet Crockett's speech was ostensibly between the years 1827 to 1835. See more »Quotes
