The Adventures of Jim Bowie Complete 1st Season (5-DVD)

Scott Forbes stars as real-life western hero Jim Bowie, famous for wielding a knife instead of a gun in his vigorous pursuit of lawbreakers. Bowie invented his renowned knife after being attacked by a fierce grizzly bear in which his rifle jammed at a critical moment in the fight. It was then he decided an especially rugged knife, which he named after himself, would become his weapon of choice. Jim Bowie was a wealthy young planter and adventurer, and his path crossed those of many interesting and famous people, including his good friend John Jame Audobon, pirate Jean LaFitte, Sam Houston, Andrew Jackson, Davy Crockett and Johnny Appleseed.
