King of the Wild Frontier

We have two weeks of school left and my mind is set already for summer. Gameboy's teacher has this mindset that the kids us parents, should be still in the nose to the grindstone mentality. She is making the kids do a report on a "famous" Texan and they are required to dress, speak and write a report about said Texan.
I am so not in the mood to do this kind of thing this late in the school year, especially a Texan I have no interest in. Though I guess that whole Alamo thing was kind of imperative to Texas history. (Yawn)
I did the inevitable and bought a coonskin cap on Ebay (Thank you Ebay, Thank God they still make coonskin caps!) for this project. Something tells me a cowboy hat just would not do for this particular Texan. That would be like putting a kilt on a Frenchman and calling him Scottish. It might fool someone but it still wouldn't be right.
Let's hope it arrives in time for next week, because I can't imagine spending $13.00 for a coonskin cap that would never be worn; because wearing it one time for a school project is completely valid.
Anyone got any ideas for the rest of the attire? A leather fringe jacket is out of the budget. I bet dollars to donuts they have them on Ebay though.
