Bowie's Poker Duel on the Reb Roy Ends in Tragedy

James Bowie of Texas confronts a gilded gambler aboard the steamboat Reb Roy near St Louis while playing poker. The clash escalates to pistol fire at dawn as Bowie and the gambler kill each other, leaving a widow and a ruined merchant, with Bowie's death lauded as heroic by later writers. The scene is set amid dramatic riverbank imagery and a polemical postscript praising Bowie's character.
