Our Rivers and 0ueen Anne.

To Re Edd0, of ne dispatch:
observe that IN your last Sundays pa
per Dr. Thomas Nelson Page, in ms article
I'm Virginia Long Ago" says that Queen
Anne had no less than four rivers named
after her-the North and South Anna, the
RIyauna, and with questionable hatfery
the Rapid Anna"
MANY years ago / was familiar with a
very old map or chart of Virginia and the
adjoining States north and south, wherCiii
the rivers and Indian tribal districts
were represented with their aboriginal
names. OF these were the Powhatan,
the POwtomac, EappahaEnOck. R0p0daH
Karatan. and other names familiar 10 Us
all bearing marked similarity in sound ::
nor have / ever heard II questioned that
P1DddGn tnow spelled Rapidan) was
not tho original Indian name OK the
river. Il is not hy any means q rGyii
stream. so that whether or not named in
honor OF the royal Stuart the prefix, =
Euglsq. would appear selseless and absurd.
Moreover. the map IN question was car-
tauly published before the reign OF
Good Queen Anne" T. whom Or. Page
evidently aliudes: wherefore. the honor,
If claimed at all must be conceded to the
Queen of James l.. who gave his own
prOsaIc name to the noble river of King
POwhatan.
Have We any historical evidence that
either OF the aforementioned rivers was
called after Queen Anne? There are within
the boundaries OF old Virginia other rivers
and streams, the names OF which end III
anna. as the Fiuyanna, Awenua, Susque-
hanna, and Lackawana, for which such
honor Is not claimed. W.
