First I'd like to say if I got any of my history wrong please correct me. If memory serves Jim Bowie had two knives he used that would give rise to his legend, one was used in the Vidalia sandbar duel and if correct many historians say he gave the knife to a popular actor of the day, but I want to know where if ever found the one that he used at the Alamo. It would seem to me that he was fairly well known in his day and maybe just maybe the blade may have been taken by a Mexican soldier into Mexico or even into the battle of San jacinto and no Texian ever found it again. Anyone have any theories? Or maybe it's still there at the Alamo burried beneath time.
