Bowie gutted a baw. Baw died. Became famous. Died in bed at Alamo.

that fight inspired the name of a great English singer:

David Knife


David Jones did actually change his name to David Bowie in his honor but pronounced it Bowie instead of Bouy.

The subjects of the disputes included competing financial interests, allegations of vote-fixing in a sheriff's election, dishonored notes (bad loans), denied bank loans, and, it is rumored, the honor of a woman. Several participants in the brawl had engaged in prior duels, fist fights, and exchanges of gunfire. Two prior attempts at resolving disputes by dueling had ended without resolution


So not much has changed in Louisiana in 191 years.

folk hero Jim Bowie


Fun fact: he later changed his name to Jim Beam and began making whiskey.

Jim Bowie was a tough son of a bitch.

Seriously? They weren’t around then? How did people get their chili cheese tots and master blasts then?

After he recovered from his wounds he left bad debt and moved to Texas. So no.

What began as a duel between two other men deteriorated into a mêlée in which Bowie, having been shot and stabbed, killed the sheriff of Rapides Parish with a large knife.

Jim Bowie was a badass. When told of her son’s death at the Alamo, his mother, Elve Bowie calmly said “I’d wager there were no wounds found on his back”

I sat in a deer stand last November, while hunting at Giles Island, overlooking the spot where the fight went down.
