Re: An earlier show I saw investigated whether Jim Bowie (I think) was killed in action or was executed by Santa Ana after capture. The conclusion was for execution. Did this show go into that?

The program had Jim too ill to fight and most probably executed as he lay on his sick bed. I think it is pretty well founded Bowie was ill and him thus dying in his bed does not make me honor him any less.

I heard one of the promos for the show on the radio, and a historian was describing Jim Bowie as a criminal.

Quite true. Matter of fact my sense of his honor was increased that much more knowing that he stayed AT the Alamo when he could have left, knowing that he most likely would die not able to defend himself.

Soddamn Insane could have learned a thing or 2 from Mr Bowie.. But then Jim had more honor in the hilt of his Knife than Soddamn has in his entire body.

The account I read, purportedly from the account of one of the Mexican soldiers, was that it was Davey Crockett who was executed after begging for his life.
