History in Brief
Anachronism Package Blurb
"Arguably the greatest folk hero in Texas history, Jim Bowie’s legend has grown to reflect the rebellious and independent spirit in which he lived his life. Bowie made a considerable amount of money dealing in illegal slaves and then involved himself in illegal land speculation. With wealth behind him, he was able to indulge his whims, including his famous, if unsuccessful search for the San Saba silver mines. His temper was legendary, and Bowie got himself into numerous fights. The most famous of these, and the fight in which the eponymous Bowie knife first came to prominence, was the Sandbar Fight, fought at Natchez, Mississippi. Bowie’s ferocity and skill quickly became common knowledge, as did the unique qualities of his weapon. Soon, the design of the knife became incredibly popular. Bowie met his end at The Alamo, fighting against Santa Anna. With this, his fame was secured forever.
Use Jim Bowie: brawler, outlaw, knife-fighter, legend, to stamp out any dissension against your claim to the Anachronism arena."
