About This Item
23 pages. Royal octavo (9 1/2" x 6 1/2") bound in original publisher's pictorial stapled wrappers. Reprinted from the Southwestern Historical Quarterly, Volume LX, Number 3. First separate printing. James Bowie had the flavor, the mettle, the daring in gesture and deed, and the generosity of spirit that make certain actors on the stage of life go beyond themselves into other selves and thus do more and say more than they actually said or did. People used to name their horses, their oxen, their hounds after Bowie. This is fame. Bowie's impact on human imagination, which is to say on social history, was far stronger than on political or military history. Condition: Some light marginalia, edge wear, corners bumped else very good.
