As in that guy from the Alamo who had what is now called the Bowie knife??
Yep.
I'm from Louisiana, so it would be hard for me not to know who he is(though he's not as well known in Louisiana, as he is in Texas). He's thought of the same way in Louisiana, as Davy Crocket is thought of in Tennessee.
TV series theme song.
He roamed the wilderness unafraid
From Natchez to Rio GrandeWith all the might of his gleaming blade
Flashing from either hand
Jim Bowie! Jim Bowie!
He was a fighter, a fearless and mighty adventurin' man!
