"Swamp Fox" was the nickname given by the British to American
Revolutionary War hero
Francis Marion, and was also the name of an eight-part telvision miniseries based on Marion's exploits that was produced by
Walt Disney in the late
1950s for his short-lived TV show "
Disneyland."
The show starred Leslie Nielsen as Marion, and had a very catchy theme song:
Swamp Fox, Swamp Fox, tail in his hat,
Nobody knows where the Swamp Fox's at!
Swamp Fox, Swamp Fox, hides in the glen,
Runs away to fight again!
