Origin and History of the Bowie Knife

The bowie knife is named after the Alamo hero Jim Bowie #texashistory #texas #txchron | Texas Chronicles: History, Mystery and Adventure

Bowie is home to the World’s Largest Jim Bowie Knife – the official knife of the State of Texas – and the second-largest Second Monday Trade Days event in Texas. We are located just 60 miles northwest of the DFW. Always remember as is etched on the Bowie knife, “Attitude is everything when it comes to where you are, where you want to be, and how you are going to get there.” | Historicalindigenoussites
