It is puzzling how the Mexican soldiers so quickly recognized Crockett and the others, not having ever laid eyes on them prior.

What did Davey Crocket say to Jim Bowie when they saw 5,000 Mexicans coming towards them?

"Hey Jim, are we pouring concrete today?"

Some reports say Bowie’s blood and pieces of his brain were still visible on the wall of the room where he was shot by Santa Anna’s men around 1940.

His death, as sacrificially heroic as Crockett’s, does not generate the same interest.

Thats because he didn’t have a catchy song written about him o wear a cool hat.

Richard Widmark was 5’9”. Jim Bowie was a reported 6’6”.

I’m going with the Johnny Cash version. “ Old Bowie lay dying his powder was ready and dry. Flat on his back Bowie killed him a few in reply.

No one ever called Jim Bowie “James”

They all knew there would be no prisoners, so surrender, even in his condition, was not an option. Bowie, who had fought knife fights to the death, would not have taken the coward’s way out to shoot himself.

I believe he killed as many as he could before he died.
