  • Rezin Bowie (Gallatin, 8 settembre 1793 – New Orleans, 17 gennaio 1841) è stato un imprenditore, inventore, mercenario politico statunitense, servì anche nel Camera dei rappresentanti della Louisiana. Bowie viene pronunciato come rima del francese "Louis" (/ˈbuːiː/ boo-ee) altre fonti indicano /ˈboʊ.i/ bo-ee. (vedi James "Jim" Bowie). Con il fratello James "Jim" Bowie, trafficava schiavi e fece speculazione. I fratelli costruirono il primo a vapore in Louisiana. Bowie è accreditato come l'inventore del coltello Bowie, che prese il suo nome e divenne noto dall'uso che ne fece il fratello James nella Sandbar Fight del 1827. Dopo che James si trasferì nel Texas messicano, Rezin accompagnò il fratello per trovare la miniera San Saba (Texas). Non la trovarono, ma la loro lotta con gli Indiani (it)
