Jim Bowie's Birth Date

Jim Bowie was born on March 10th 1796. His brother John gives that as the birth date and John is kind of the source of a lot of our information on Jim Bowie's early life but John and every other member of the Bowie family are liars and unreliable narrators. So it's really we really take this all with a grain of salt. I know people like that and they tell you your liars too like hey now I'm gonna tell you the story but keep in mind I make a lot of stuff up.
