The Antique Bowie Knife Book
Conyers, GA, Museum Publishing Co, 1990. Hardcover. Color illustrated dustjacket, tan boards with gilt lettering on cover and spine. (5) 6-552 pp. featuring many full color illustrations. copy #734 of 1100. The Bowie is the most famous of American knives. Its history is steeped in legend; it starts with Jim Bowie and his famous Vidalia Sand Bar fight, his part in the fight for Texas independence, and his death at The Alamo. In those faraway days of the mid-nineteenth century, pistols were uncertain (and most would fire only once). So, "a knife like Bowie's" was an important arm for personal defense. Bowies were carried and used by hero and bandit alike during the period of Western expansion. The California '49ers wore Bowies across the North American continent and 'round the Horn. American frontiersmen, soldiers, buffalo hunters, cowboys, and gamblers carried the Bowie as a standard accessory; when the Civil War broke out, the Bowie was carried by the soldiers on both sides of that conflict. Many Bowies were made by silversmiths and surgical instrument makers, with handles of horn, mother-of-pearl, and silver. Some were marked with mottos that were associated with the target market for the knife such as "The Gold Seeker's Protector," "The United States, Protected By Her Brave and Noble Volunteers" and for the general market "The American Pride, Equal Rights, Equal Laws And Equal Justice To All.
