Part One: Jim Bowie: The Worst Texan

Behind the Bastards

CHAPTER

Jim Bowie and Norris Wright and a Gunfight

Jim Bowie's friend Norris Wright had a gun fight with Bowie months ago. Both men fire at each other at point blank range and of course both miss again now their hands hurt yeah they're so bad at shooting each other. One of the few not dangerously unhinged men present pleads with Bowie to stop fighting. The ball passes through directly through Denny's hand and it into Jim Bowie's lung. With a concussion and a bullet in their lung most men probably would have stopped fighting but as one of Jim Bowie's friends later noted if there ever lived a man who never felt the sensation of fear it was James Bowie.
