Why a Turkey is Called a
Turkey.

Three hundred years or so ago the
newly discovered portions OF The New
World were still supposed TO be part Of
the Asiatic continents and the natives
were called Indians in consequence.
A common name for the maize which
we call Indian corn wa sthen Turkish
wheat" The delicious turkey was too
important to the larder to me Ignored,
so the French and English explorers
soon found a name for It. The French
Dabadlsts, or Mystlcs, who came to
New York, then New Amsterdam, in
the autumn of 1879, mention the ripe
fields of Turkish wheat" and also the
wild Turkey" The French name of
dindon (dIndeon), the Indian fowl, is
a more reasonable name for the same
bird. since we agree to call he red
aborigines or autochthones Of this
continent Indians

EVACUATED the place, some destined

drisns is an epoch in their history, and
YEAR after year, as the "a b of May rolls
