Well, Bowie isn't near any Civil War battles at all;
ONLY thing nearby was the Battle of Bladensburg in the War of 1812, probably the most humiliating defeat ever suffered by American arms in history; we attempted to block the British who had landed from ships from marching to DC, and our entire army (Except for a tiny contingent of Marines) broke and ran away, and the British burned DC.
