I'm curious...who does the black powder community look up to as the greats, and why? If not the community, who do you look up to personally? I don't care if they're modern or historic, characters (Clint Eastwood) or real (Wild Bill).

1st - Fess Parker. His portrayal of Daniel Boone and Davy Crockett got me interested in guns and blackpowder when I was just a wee tyke. Between them, they covered blackpowder usage in the US from the late 1700s through the Alamo. I had to have a coonskin cap & musket because him.
2nd - Roy Rogers. His movies and TV series got me interested in any and everything Cowboy.
