I'm guessing it replaced people like Jim Bowie, Davie Crockett, Sam Houston....or if you're looking for "super heroes", Biblical heroes like Sampson maybe, or perhaps the Greek pantheon.
My Dad's generation was into cowboys and indians. He was a huge John Wayne fan. I'm not sure what all my grandfather's generation was into. I would assume whatever the popular books/magazines were at the time. I'm not sure that my grandfather's generation had as much free time as subsequent generations do.
For sure the pioneers. The revolutionaries. Mark Twain, Edgar Allen Poe, Robert E Howard, HP Lovecraft still hold some sway but are no longer star writers.
