Forgotten TV: Daniel Boone (1960)

 Four years before Daniel Boone became a hit for NBC, Disney had their own adaptation as part of the Disneyland anthology series.

Set in the years prior to the later series, this iteration tells how Boone (Dewey Martin) moved his family from North Carolina to Kentucky. As opposed to the 1964-70 series, Daniel has two sons instead of one. Kevin Corcoran, a Disney regular at the time, co-stars.

Walt Disney intros the 1st chapter, "The Warrior's Path":


As we know, CBS & 20th Century Fox tried to revisit Boone's early years in 1977, but it bombed.

No rating. Just a public service.
