ORIGIN OF THE BOWIE KNIFE.
In the Fayetteville North Carolina Observer
We find the foIlouipo. -


WASHINGTON, Ark March 10. 1853.
Messrs. Editors: Having seen some little
wrsngiing IN the public prints about the frs,
maker OF the far-famed Bowie Knife. I proposs
10 give you the facts OF the case as have had
them from the mouth Of the artifcer himself,
utstantiated by the testimony of the commu.
nifty in which he has long resided.
In the autumn of 1927, Col. James Bowie, of
Natchitoches, La, hearing that James Black.
OF W ashington, Ark, was q skillful worker in
metals, sent him pattern for the knife, the
form OF which had doubtless been conceived by
necessity, in actual encounters with beasts of
the forest, and desperadoes who haunted the
frontier. Black made the knife according to
order, and forwarded it to Bowie; and in the
hands OF that reckless and daring man it soon
became notorious throughout the whole South
west, and orders for similar knives came flock
Ing in from Arkansas and Texas So great was
the mania. that for some tim, he was obliged to
abandon all other work to supply the demand
for these knives, which at that time received the
various appellations of Arkansas Toothpick,
Blacks Knife, Bois dare handle Knife, Bowie
Knife, &c.
importers of cutlery soon took advantage of
their reputation, and ordered knives of a simi-
lar form from Sheffield, with the inscription
" Red River" on the blade. But this strata
gem did not succeed, IA the exceHency of
Black Knife consisted not SO much in its form
90 itS temper WHICH, as he assures ME, was so
good that after putting it in order, he could
whittle seasoned hickory and then shave the
hair off his arm. The handle was made from
knots OF the bOiS u d'arc or Usage orange tree
very hard and durable, and most beautifully
carved in the grain; and as he had been brought
up to the silver plating business, he was en-
abied to mount them splendidly, thus making
them objects of ornament as we'll as utility to
the soldier and hunter. His prices were from
five to fifty dollars
In December, 1889, he went entirely blind
has since been an indispensable favorite in the
family OF the late lamentcd DIR. j. N. Jones,
formerly of Granville county, N. c., and is
sun living. an object of regard and sympathy
tor our entire community.
Some years since, soldier by the name of
johnson put knife in Black hand, and asked
him II he knew it, to which he replied that the
knife was an acquaintance, but the owner a
stranger to him; Johnson replied that his
knives were celebrated in the battle of San
Jacinto, and that the weapon he held in his
hand had pierced fifteen Spaniards in that con-
fict. Your friend, truly, VINO.
