The Sandbar Fight of 19 September 1827 made James 'Jim' Bowie famous, as well as the Bowie knife – less than 10 years before the Alamo (where he fell alongside the heroes William Barret Travis and David Crockett) – but it was essentially just a brawl on a sandbar between people who could not let go of grudges and felt the need to act upon them. #History #TexasRevolution #JamesBowie #Duel #SandbarFight #USHistory #HistoryFact whe.to/ci/2-2838-en/

The death of David "Davy" Crockett at the Battle of the Alamo (6 March 1836) has been understood as a heroic last stand at least since 1880 when Texan historian Reuben M. Potter dismissed eyewitness accounts that Crockett had surrendered as "calumny against the hero", insisting that Crockett fought to the end (Kilgore, 27). #History #TexasRevolution #SiegeOfTheAlamo #DavidCrockett #BattleOfTheAlamo #Mexico #Texas #USHistory #HistoryFact whe.to/ci/2-2835-en/
