Actually, Arkansas is the birthplace of the Bowie knife and still the repository of the best information on the history of it. As well as the best place to start debates on the subject.
Bill Worthen, administrator and curator of the State museum, Historic Arkansas Museum, is one of the country's foremost experts on the subject. Meaning at least a thousands other 'experts' disagree with him. For more info on the subject check out: http://www.historicarkansas.org/knife_gallery/
p.s. you might find a knife in the gallery donated by someone you recognize.
