The broadcast of three television episodes about the frontiersman Davy Crockett and the film Davy Crockett, King of the Wild Frontier in 1954 and 1955 led to a high demand for coonskin caps in the United States, although it is unlikely either Crockett or the actor who played him, Fess Parker, actually wore a cap made from raccoon fur.
A emisión de tres episodios de televisión sobre o pioneiro da fronteira Davy Crockett e a película Davy Crockett, King of the Wild Frontier en 1954 e 1955 orixinou unha enorme demanda de gorros de mapache nos Estados Unidos, aínda que é improbble que o propio Crockett ou o actor que o representou, Fess Parker, realmente usasen un gorro feito de pel de mapache.
