Who was the subjct of these lyrics?

His blade was tempered and so was he.
Indestructable steel was he.
He was a fighter, a fearless and mighty adventurin' man! 

He roamed the wilderness unafraid 
From Natchez to Rio Grande
With all the might of his gleaming blade 
Flashing from either hand

Remington Steel?
Vikki M. Aug 8, 2008, 11:15pm EDT
Hmm... It sounds familiar, but I can't place it right now. I'll have to think more...
Meredith B. Aug 8, 2008, 11:37pm EDT
i dunno
Mary Ann S. Aug 8, 2008, 11:57pm EDT
Not Remington Steele.
The clue is in the lyrics. Who was famous for fighting with a blade? He was a real historical character as well as someone played by many fine actors.
Carol Lloyd Aug 9, 2008, 5:58am EDT
zorro
Elaine S. Aug 9, 2008, 7:46am EDT
Zorro???
Mary Ann S. Aug 9, 2008, 10:47am EDT
Not Zorro either.
Think of a real historical person and the East coast (New orleans) and the West (Texas)
Mary Ann S. Aug 9, 2008, 10:49am EDT
I added more lyrics.
Bob C. Aug 9, 2008, 10:50am EDT
The highlander?
Bob C. Aug 9, 2008, 10:51am EDT
na.. not from New Orleans and Texas ;-)
Bob C. Aug 9, 2008, 10:53am EDT
Jim Bowie!!!
Kim M. Aug 9, 2008, 10:54am EDT
I cheated and looked up the answer. I won't post it so others can have some fun guessing. =)
Mary Ann S. Aug 9, 2008, 9:24pm EDT
Bob, it is Jim Bowie. Good.
Nurse Nancy S. Aug 10, 2008, 5:58am EDT
Bummer...missed by one post. I knew the answer!!! Smileycons!
Toni V. Aug 10, 2008, 10:30am EDT
Very cool.
Peter Joseph Swanson Aug 10, 2008, 11:06am EDT
I didn't know.
Peter Joseph Swanson Aug 10, 2008, 11:06am EDT
And I didn't forget 10 stars, ha ha
Nancy 67 Aug 10, 2008, 9:32pm EDT
Ha! I thought it was going to be Zorro as well! Fun trivia question!
Elsie Duggan Aug 10, 2008, 11:11pm EDT
lol, sooner of later I would have thought of Zoro, maybe.
Chelsea R. Aug 10, 2008, 11:16pm EDT
i would have never guessed!
Melanie B. Aug 11, 2008, 12:41pm EDT
Good one~ I thought maybe the mighty Z myself. =)
10*
Amy C. Aug 11, 2008, 12:55pm EDT
missed it but this is fun
Vicky Duggins Aug 12, 2008, 2:22pm EDT
I was going to guess the Tin Man :P
Debra C. Aug 12, 2008, 4:34pm EDT
I was going to guess Zorro. Guess that's why we have Bowie knives.

J R B. Aug 15, 2008, 2:06pm EDT
Too late again.
Terry M. Aug 24, 2008, 6:22pm EDT
Great job on this one.
vickey w Aug 26, 2008, 5:19am EDT
I would have said Zorro too
Lisa J Sep 12, 2008, 11:12pm EDT
I missed it before the answer, but I would have said Zorro first, except I vaguely remember the Zorro lyrics, and it didn't sound like them...
Jeanie C. Sep 19, 2008, 9:07pm EDT
Yeah Bob!!!!
Gloria J. Sep 27, 2008, 4:10am EDT
The Greatest American Hero. Believe it or not Im just walkin on air. Never thought I could feel so feel......
Dena Straughn Nov 6, 2008, 2:31am EST
The knife should have given it away, but I had to move up and read the answer.
Nikki S. Dec 23, 2008, 5:45pm EST

Nikki S. Dec 23, 2008, 5:46pm EST

Please do the same

Just stopping by to wish you a Happy New Year.My goal is to leave every one of my friends on Gather a comment today to start the year off right. I'm on the Ms - it's taking me a while to complete my task.
Lee P. Jan 13, 2009, 2:39pm EST
Well I didn't get a chance to play, but I wouldn't have got it anywya.
Donna Besso Jan 15, 2009, 6:05pm EST
Zorro?
Amy C. Jan 16, 2009, 3:10pm EST
I would say zorro also
William Dotani Jan 18, 2009, 2:52am EST
I thought it was Daniel Boone.
William Dotani Jan 18, 2009, 2:54am EST
My second guess of course would be The Beaver.
Aunt Boni H. Feb 8, 2009, 8:45pm EST
Great game, Mary Ann. Do some more............
And thanks for the connection.

Mary M. Feb 16, 2009, 9:22am EST
I would have said Zorro, too. :) Jim Bowie makes sense, though!
Sarah (I want points) Feb 24, 2009, 12:14pm EST
I have no clue...
Theresa Chaze Mar 1, 2009, 4:47pm EST
Daniel Boone
Theresa Chaze Mar 1, 2009, 4:50pm EST
Davy Crockett, hero of the wild frontier
M. Bradley McCauley McCauley Mar 8, 2009, 1:24pm EDT
I thought I'd be the first to write Davy Crockett. The meloday is rining in my mind. Davey, Davy Crockett, king of the wild frontier.! Yeah!
Christopher P. Apr 9, 2009, 3:17pm EDT
My response was Jim Bowie, but I sure would like to hear some references to Yancy Derringer. His "Indian companion" could have lived up to that song's hype!
sandesh b. Apr 23, 2009, 11:56pm EDT
nice post...
I am a real American.....
fighting for rights and freedom...........
Kelly M. May 2, 2009, 9:24am EDT
Thanks for stopping by to comment on one of my articles or pics! I am returning the favor by “hanging ten” and dropping by 10 of your posts today!
William Dotani May 2, 2009, 9:26am EDT
It's got to be Mr. Ed.
♥¤ J K¤ ♥ May 14, 2009, 1:03pm EDT
What a fun post!
I didn't know the answer and haven't heard of Jim Bowie.
Learning something new on Gather!
Patti M. Sep 1, 2009, 7:45am EDT
Zoro would have been my guess.
Patti M. Sep 1, 2009, 7:46am EDT
Thank you for your comment on my fountain.
Diana Raabe Dec 7, 2009, 6:40pm EST
You stumped me! I did have fun trying to figure it out until I read the answer, though.
