...and I will go to Texas!

The thing that jumped into my head was James Montgomery Flagg's iconic World War I recruiting poster of Uncle Sam. That pointing finger sure reinforces the message.
Colonel Crockett's visage is from his 1831 portrait by Samuel Stillman Osgood. Of it Crockett said, "I am happy to acknowledge that this to be the only correct likeness that has ever been taken of me."
The coonskin cap? We took that right off Fess Parker.
I'm tickled with how it came together. And with as much as I've read about David Crockett and his ways, I think he would be too.
