JIM BOWIE AND HIS DEADLY KNIFE Folks, in the old days (nearly 50 years ago), the editors of the old western magazines never dreamed that two stories in one issue would become collectors items. Well, Jim Bowie wasn’t as popular then as now but here are two great original stories about Bowie and the maker of the knife he made famous in one issue SO YOU’RE REALLY GETTING TWO FOR ONE! NEARLY FIFTY YEARS OLD Please read this. There were many a western story published – the common ones about cowboy and Indians are listed on Ebay every day but the rarer ones about the true heroes and pioneers of the old west like this one are seldom found. Collectors treasure them and their price guide value rises every day. They are hard to find. I hunt them out cause really the better, untold and rarer stories were published in the rest. Here’s one of ‘em. Following my retirement, I have dedicated my remaining hours to indexing the Genealogy of our western pioneers. During my research, I discovered that thousands of our kinfolk lay unfound and unrecognized on some book dealer’s shelf gathering dust. Because Old Western History and Memorabilia was printed before computer indexing, I index every item I sell. This complete index will be bound and included in this offering at no additional cost. Humbly, I am trying to keep our history alive. I hope you appreciate the effort. JIM BOWIE AND HIS DEADLY KNIFE By Norman B.

It’s a shame that our past is being lost. It’s as simple as that. My wife kids me that after I find a piece I like, buy it, read it, research it, take a picture, scan it, write the blurb, pay the Ebay entry fee and commission, that I end up making about 50 cents an hour. But, OH HOW I LOVE THIS OLD WESTERN HISTORY. What a story, Rare Story!!! Great Pictures. You will love it as it was published in this old complete western magazine of nearly 50 years ago. The issue is in excellent condition, the cover is pristine and in vibrant color . THIS IS A COLLECTOR’S ISSUE As clearly stated in my description, this is featured story in a rarely found and seldom read unusual and complete western magazine. I don't give out name of publication or date because I have caught competitors copying my index and work and trying to sell it as theirs. I hope you understand.
