Known for his famous Bowie knife and a sometimes reckless adventurer, Jim Bowie is now immortalized as one of the true folk heroes in early Texas. Born in Kentucky in 1796, Bowie spent his youth moving around the country with his family before settling in Louisiana. It was there that he first acquired a reputation for his bold and fearless disposition. During the Texas Revolution, Bowie was in command of a volunteer force in San Antonio when William Travis arrived with regular army troops. The two men shared authority during much of the Siege of the Alamo, but pneumonia disabled Bowie and he was confined to his cot at the time of his death.
