THE ORIGIN OF YANKEE.
An Englishman Wrote in 1777 That
It Was nn Indian Word of Con
temptuous Meaning.
riom tho Charlotte Observer.
Major W. A. Guthile, of Durham, In
i addition to being nn able lawyer, nn as
I tute politician, and an admirable gen
tleman otheivvlse, Is fond ot literature
I of the best class. He likes to tearch
j through rare books and papeis. Pome
j years ago, at the sale of the effects of
i some aged citizen, he bought two rusty
I looking volumes for a meie trille along
with other books. On examining the
books he found them to be "Travels
Through the Interior Parts of America,
in n Series of Lectures by an Ofllcer
of tho Hrltish Army." They are the
letters of Lieutenant Thomas Aubuiey
He was taken prisoner at the battle
ot Saratoga during the Revolutionary
war. From there he was sent a pilson
er to Boston, and later was marched
with many other prisoners ut the Brit
ish nuny, who had been captured at
various places, to Charlottesville, Va.
Mr. Jones, a laige planter of Virginia
and a member of the Continental con
gtess, had tendered his plantation and
negro quarteis to the congress for a
prison camp. From this plantation
Auburey wrote many of his letters. All
the prisoners weie paroled. This oifl
cer spent his time In riding nbout the
countiy mound Chailottesvllle. The
letteis were to a friend of his in Uns
land. Later the letters weie published
in two volumes anil were uedlcateil to
the Hail of Haiiington, Viscount
Petersham, colonel ot the Twent, -ninth
regiment of Foot. Thev begin Aug '
1776, and tun to Oct. SO. 1781.
The letters are full of Intel estlng and i
Instructive leading. In Volume 2,
page 4G, written from Cambridge, New
Ihiglnnd. Nov 23, 1777, is a history of
the word Yankee. Before the Kevolu
tlonaiy wai the Virginians called the
New Knglnnders Yankees; from them
to the civil wnr even body that was
not of tho New Imgland states called
the New Knglnnders Yankees, and dur
ing the civil war everybody north of
tho Mason and Dixon line was called
Yankee.
As to tho vvoid, Lieutenant Auburey
wrote In 1777. "It may not be amiss lieio
to oh"erve that tho etmology of this
term Is derived from a Cheiokee word,
Knnkke, which signifies cowaul and
slave. Tho epithet ot Yankee was be
stowed upon the Inhabitants ol Now
Lngland by the Vliglnlans for not as
sisting them In a war with tho Chero
kees, ad they have nlvvnys been in de
rision by It. But the nnme has been
more prevalent since the beginning of
hostilities, the soldiers at Boston used
It as n teim of leproach, but after the
affair at Bunker Hill the Americans
Kloilrd In It. 'Yankee DoocIIp Is now
their paean, a favoilte of favoiltps,
played In their army, esteemed as v.ai
like us the 'Otenudlers' Match.' It Is
the loon's spell, the nutso's lullub.v
"After our rapid successes we held
tho Yankees In Kient contempt but It
was not a little moitlflng to hear
them play this tune when their nimy
marched down to our suirttulei '
Such Is the hlstoiy of the etMnology
of tho word 'Yankee "
