Caffeinated Cowboys: A History of Coffee in the Old Wild West...
"Coffee played an essential role in shaping the American frontier during the Old West. For settlers, cowboys, and pioneers, coffee was more than a drink — it was a daily ritual that provided comfort, energy, and a sense of community in an often harsh and lonely environment. Brewed over open fires and consumed from tin cups, coffee became a staple at campfires and homesteads. It served as a morale booster for those working long days under challenging conditions and often doubled as a social lubricant, bringing people together.
