    The FIRST Bowie Knife??

    The Mexican family seems to have NO interest in exhibiting or even discussing the Rezin Bowie knife & is "publicity shy". Mr. Oliver simply told a reporter from THE FORT WORTH STAR-TELEGRAM in DEC 1985 that he had wasted his time traveling to Mexico & trying to buy Rezin Bowie's knife, as it is...

    Single shot pistols in Texas 1836 ?

    BSchroe, ALL that I can tell you about that precise subject is that 3-4 years ago, during a "question & answer period" after one of the TX history seminars, the curator of our Witte Museum said that: BLADES were more often carried "in town" by early Texicans than any sort of firearm. (NO...

    Single shot pistols in Texas 1836 ?

    NOT a single clue. - SORRY. Given the number of people who gave GEN Austin presents, they could be almost anything. (He was even given expensive presents, by some of his Federalist admirers in Mexico City, before he returned to TX after being locked up in prison by GEN Santa Anna for a goodly...

    The FIRST Bowie Knife??

    Perhaps I wasn't clear. The "First Bowie's Knife" (The ONLY knife that COL Bowie ever made himself) was NOT found at The Alamo. - It was purchased from the family of the man that COL Bowie gave it to, long before the COL came to Texas. "The Iron Mistress", which was COL Bowie's famous (or...

    Single shot pistols in Texas 1836 ?

    Fwiw, The Alamo's arms collection has exactly ONE flintlock pistol. - It's a War of 1812 French flinter (that has been identified to a member of COL Milam's command & was "probably used in" The Battle of San Antonio, which was BEFORE the Siege of the Alamo Fortress) & is about .65 caliber...

    The FIRST Bowie Knife??

    To All, Fwiw, I was told this morning about 1000 hours by an assistant curator that the The Alamo's CEO has been PROMISED that the "First Bowie's Knife" will be ON DISPLAY (In a suitably secure case) in The Long Barracks by Christmas 2018. (I was also told that the Chief Ranger is "nervous", as...

    YEP. As Jim Morrison, famous lead singer of The Doors, said frequently, "Ain't nobody getting out of here alive." (Morrison passed away on 03JUL71.) yours, satx

    Something for everyone to disagree about

    Laughing AT you, inasmuch as Wikipedia is FILLED with gossip, foolishness, inaccurate data, utter nonsense, Bravo Sierra, leftist/slanted propaganda & other FALSE stuff.

    Something for everyone to disagree about

    Frankly, I just don't care to argue. - I simply told you what Ms. Davison, who is a well-known & "nationally celebrated" chef, said & nothing more than that. IF you want to argue about anything, I suggest that you contact "Colorado Clyde". yours,satx

    Something for everyone to disagree about

    According to a recent episode of AMERICA'S TEST KITCHEN's "star" Julia Collin Davison, the "major use for Pink Salt is for an attractive appearance of cured meats". Truthfully, I doubt if the amount of Pink Salt that the average consumer consumes is a significant "heath problem". yours, satx
