Description: A knife formerly owned and used by Davy Crockett during the Battle of the Alamo on display in the San Jacinto Museum of History at the San Jacinto Battleground State Historic Site in Harris County, Texas. According to the museum, after Crockett's death during the battle, Andrea Castañón Villanueva (also known as "Madam Candelaria") took the knife, and later gave it to Juan L. Lynn, who then gave it to Sion Record Bostick. Bostick, himself, fought during the Texas Revolution in the Battle of San Jacinto.
