Interesting Tidbits When you see my presentation you'll find out the answer to these questions as well as many other interesting tidbits from frontier Texas. Did you know that settlers headed west would often times burn down their old cabins before leaving.   Why? What is the secret to Cowboy coffee? What was a frontier toothbrush made of and how much did it cost? What is the secret to flint & steel fire making? How old was Samuel Colt when he came up with the idea for the revolver and where did he get the idea? When there was no water available to wash their clothes, how did they get rid of the fleas and lice? What else was used for currency besides coinage and paper money?
