Here's a couple of photos from Ted. How many out there remember having this album? (I still have mine.)  |

I still have mine, but the yellow parts on the front and back covers are white on mine. And the still photos on the back cover on mine are in color.  |

I saw one like that in a used record store once, but did not get it, as a few of the pictures had been cut out. There were at least two pages of stills devoted the the Alamo, though, so maybe I should've gotten it anyway.  |

That's the one. It opens up like a book and contains 12 pages of B&W photos (with captions) from all three episodes.
If anybody's interested, I could borrow my brother's digital camera and shoot photos of each page. The album's still in pretty good shape, considering all the wear and tear my friends and I gave it as kids.

I would be particularly interested in the pictures concerning the Alamo, Rick. (Like that's a surprize.)

Some Fess Parker/Davy Crockett photos from Ted Cole:  SAYS TED: Here's some photos related to Disney’s production of Davy Crockett and the pop culture craze which ensued. For example, many folks have seen this photo of Fess Parker as Davy Crockett in black and white… |

 SAYS TED... but here’s a slightly different pose (chin a bit higher, “Old Betsy” at a different angle) in marvelous color. Yes, that’s Disneyland’s very own Rivers of America in the background, somewhere between Bear/Critter Country (not when this shot was taken, of course) and the “mechanical” Indian Village (only a quick backstage hike through the trees from present day Toontown). This shot was used for (among other things) the cover of the Three Adventures of Davy Crockett LP released > on Disneyland Records (DQ-1315). |

 SAYS TED: At this live appearance, Fess Parker gets the drop on a whole troop of coonskin clad Crockett fans. I really like this one and the looks on the kids faces speak volumes, don`t you think? |
