    What mistakes have you noticed in movies/tv shows that happen in the BP era like Daniel Boone, Patriot etc?

    I am reading the book again and you are absolutely correct. Chapter 3 is titled "The Long Riflle" and describes everything about making bullets, cleaning, and loading the gun, including the powder horn, shot pouch, and patch box. Only thing it doesn't mention is pouring powder into the little...

    That is surprising. It reminds me of the time when the TV game show Family Feud had on real descendants of the Hatfields and the McCoys. They had them holding period guns which were apparently either authentic or very good reproductions and one guy badly wanted one of the guns.

    You should look at the Little House on the Prairie movie in the scenes where the gun is shown close. It looked authentic to me. It is free with ads on Amazon through Freevee or if you have the paid version of Peacock. Should I try to grab a screenshot?

    If the movie showed huge Conestoga Prairie Schooners on the Oregon Trail then the wagons were incorrect. Those were further east. The Oregon and California Trails used lighter and smaller wagons due to the huge mountain ranges they had to cross. Did John Wayne get his ramrod back after...

    So it could have been Davy Crockett? Both were (confusingly) played by Fess Parker but Davy Crockett was earlier.

    Discover Laura Ingalls says, "To my knowledge Laura never describes it in any of her books. She does describe him making bullets in the book Little House in the Big Woods. In the book These Happy Golden Years she does talk about Uncle Tom’s experience and how he carried a Winchester. That is...

    I wonder if the ramrod scene could possibly have been in the Disney Daniel Boone series although it sounds pretty violent for Disney, especially at that time, or whether it could have been a TV airing of one of the Daniel Boone movies from 1936 or 1956 or possibly something else. The Fess...

    I'll see about contacting the Laura Ingalls Wilder Association. Also, this was the pilot movie only. I'll continue watching the series and see what shows up.

    Was this in a book or a movie? Because it wasn't in the TV series.

    Okay, question. I just watched the pilot of Little House on the Prairie for the first time in about 50 years and noticed Pa toting a powder horn. Were people still using powder horns in the early 1870s or had everyone switched to more modern guns? This was possibly meant to show Pa was from...

    That is a cruel and untrue rumor. Ed Ames left to pursue his singing career. Period.

    Daniel Boone TV show historical accuracy

    Jemima was never mentioned by name after her last appearance on the show. Darby Hinton, who played Israel, did not learn of the reason she left until they met for the 50th anniversary. Ed Ames, who played Mingo, left to pursue his singing career and was never mentioned again either. People...

    Speaking of no resentment it seems Daniel also didn't go after the Native American who seemed to befriend his oldest son James and then tortured and killed him.

    Daniel Boone TV show historical accuracy

    That was Daniel Boone. He was gone for twenty months and came back to find his wife with a baby much too young to be his. He asked whose baby it was and she admitted it was hers. It turned out his wife and brother had believed him dead and got together to console one another. Daniel said...

    No, Jemima was utterly Chuck Cunninghamed. Her absence was not explained or hinted at in any way (neither was Mingo's for that matter). Jemima was never seen after Season 2. A little ways into Season 3, Daniel continued to refer to his "children," plural--Rebecca never did--and then it was...

    Season 6, episode 17: Again, time travel, people! Granted, it is true that the Boone and Lincoln families were neighbors, and Tom Lincoln was known for orneriness, but that's about it. (Despite his orneriness, Tom managed to have two very nice wives.) Season 1 of Daniel Boone: 1775. Season...

    Daniel Boone TV show historical accuracy

    Season 6, episode 1: A few words about John Chapman, aka "Johnny Appleseed," played here by Roger Miller. He wasn't born until 1774, and considering that Season 1 was 1775, at one year per season this should still be only 1780 so Johnny should be about five years old here. Israel Boone was...

    In Season 6, episode 7 of Daniel Boone, "The Grand Alliance," at 4:26, Josh Clements says, "I seen a lot of things, but I never saw a Indian doin' anything like that." Of course he hadn't. They are firing repeatedly without reloading in an era of single shot guns.
