Retry Correct Incorrect Although Jim Bowie did fight in the War of 1812 and was involved in various Texas land developments, it was actually his brother Rezin who invented his famous hunting knife. Instead, Bowie’s most famous contribution to American history saw him fight and die alongside Davy Crockett and William B. Travis at the Battle For the Alamo in 1836.
