Does legendary imply that the person is fictional? I don't think so. A real person can be legendary.

[earendel]

Does legendary imply that the person is fictional? I don't think so. A real person can be legendary.

I suppose it's a matter of semantics. I associate "legendary" with figures like Pecos Bill and Paul Bunyan, not historical figures like Boone and Crockett.

I think that real people can be considered legendary if stories are told about them in a similar way to fictional historical characters. I would say that Johnny Appleseed, Daniel Boone, and Davy Crockett would fall into that category. There are lots of stories about those three that are unverifiable even though we know that they really existed.

You mean Davy Crockett never "Kilt him a b'ar when he was only three"?
