Synopsis :

In this true-life non-fiction adventure, Dr. Wayne Frye explores famed knife aficionado Jim Bowie’s romance with Judalon de Bornay and how it may have inadvertently led to his near death in the famous Visalia Sand Bar Brawl.
Called the Rembrandt of words by one European critic, Wayne Frye’s historical works read like fiction, as he puts you right in the middle of the action. In this exciting true-life adventure you can sense bullets whizzing all about. You can feel the cold steel of a knife penetrate your flesh. You can hear the clashing swords as you battle for the honour of a lady-so-fair. You can feel the palpitations of your pounding heart as you prepare for a duel with pistols to the death on a field of honour.
Jim Bowie was more than a man. He was a legend. Even today, the Bowie knife commands the respect of all who know the mythology of this razor sharp blade that cut its way into folklore in the hands of a man skilled in its use to the point that all he had to do was pull back his coat and display it on his hip to strike fear into any man who dared wrong him. Saint to some, sinner to many but a man of courage to all, Jim Bowie was truly a legend in his own time.
