<P> Any similarities possibly are coincidental . Boone's character needed an American Indian companion, and as the show was produced in the United States, the character needed to support the rebelling colonists to be believable as Boone's friend . Giving Mingo an education, a better one, incidentally, than Fess Parker's Boone, distanced Mingo from the traditional Western violent, uneducated savage stereotype . If creators were unaware of Moore's Indian Charity School, a British father would have been the easiest way to explain Mingo's background . Status in some Indian tribes is through women . An Indian mother and a British officer father provided status in both worlds . Nothing indicates that Brant was the basis for Mingo, and differences are notable, starting with Brant's stance as a Loyalist, but Mingo closely resembles Brant . (In many ways, having an educated background and a European father was more similar to another Iroquois diplomat, John "Cornplanter" Abeel, the son of a Seneca mother and a Dutch - American father, descended from colonial politician Johannes Abeel .) </P> <P> One oddity to the show was that Parker's Boone very rarely used a horse for transportation . He instead walked to his destinations, sometimes incurring interstate travel . </P> <P> Parts of the series were filmed in Kane County, Utah . </P> <P> The show's main title featured three versions of the theme song written by Vera Matson and Lionel Newman (although the lyrics were written by Ken Darby, credited under the name of his wife Matson). The third "groovy version" was sung by The Imperials . </P>
