[first lines]
Narrator : Jim Bowie - whose name one day was to be written into the annals of brave men at the Battle of the Alamo, along with those of Davy Crockett and Colonel Travis, is on his way home again, heading south along the Natchez Trace towards his plantation in Opelousas, Louisiana. Plantation owner, adventurer, Jim Bowie is always coming home because he's always going away - looking for new lands, new timber and new adventure - but he never stayed anywhere very long... just until the adventure was finished and then he'd start drifting homeward again... that is, unless another adventure delayed him.

Narrator : This is the true story of how the knife was born. The knife that would grow in legendary feats until it was known the world over by the name of it's inventor - the Bowie Knife!
