Jim Bowie and the Sandbar Let Fight

The sandbar let fight became legend for one reason Jim Bowie Davis writes that in typical frontier fights quote the real fighters risked themselves only when they seemed to have the advantage and happily ran to cover otherwise. Bowie impelled by the rage that blinded him to fear or self-protection stood his ground and simply kept fighting. He would always have his knife strapped to his chest while he was in his sick bed so he could show it off to reporters and the steady stream of well-wishers who came by to talk to him. So the Bowie knife becomes incredibly famous as a result of this and suddenly like every guy who feels who who wants to feel like a badass has to have a Bowie knife.
