Inhalt:

James "Jim" Bowie is a legendary hero in the history of early Texas, mainly due to his use of the "Bowie Knife" and his defence at the Alamo and subsequent death there. However, he is also a controversial figure, being an owner of slaves and an active businessman in the buying and selling of slaves in Louisiana and Texas. A convert to the Catholic faith and renouncing of American citizenship to become a citizen of Mexico was necessary to wed a wealthy senorita and obtain Mexican land grants. Jim Bowie was a plantation owner, pioneer, politician and warrior. To write about his exploits and identify the how and why, I found it necessary to research his timeline in chronological order, from his birth to his death, so that readers will be entertained as well as educated by "Jim Bowie - Life Legacy Legend".
