Fess Parker played Boone like he had played Crockett in the Disney series. Boone & Crocket were very different.

One thing Parker was 6 ft 5 inches
Boone was 5 ft 7 inches with a stocky build.

It is said that this painting is the best representation of Boone in his prime

Best biography of Boone is

https://www.amazon.com/Daniel-Boone-Legend-American-Pioneer/dp/0805030077/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=Daniel+Boone&qid=1576176953&sr=8-1

When you read this book you will find yourself humming\singing the TV series theme song. You will see that in this case “big” doesn’t just mean “stature”.
