Synopsis

He wrestled alligators, rode wild mustangs, and helped Texas win its independence. He was one of the most famous frontiersmen of his day, and became famous for the knife that still bears his name. Jim Bowie’s life ended defending the Alamo, but his legend lives on. Jim’s life sprawls from Louisiana to Texas in this rollicking adventure, as seen through the eyes of his faithful dog and friend Gator. From the moment Jim snatches the small puppy from the jaws of an alligator, Gator witnesses Jim’s noble and heroic life and shares the tale of his final moments at the Alamo.
