The origin of Johnnycake.

No doubt many others besides the
writer may have wondered how johnny
cake came to be thus named. When a
child. I settled it for myself by mag
lining John Smith, whom Pocahontas
saved, had something to do with 1t.
The cake being made Of Indian meal,
became thus associated In my mind
with the historical name. A writer In
the Housekeeper says:
In tracing the term we find ourselves
at q time antedating by many years
steam cars and hotels on wheels, in an
age when mankind depended entirely
upon his four footed companions for
transportation and had only saddlebags
in which to carry his luggage. Tav-
ems were few and far apart, and a
lunch was always acceptable. Corn
meal, forming so large part of the
dietary in those days, held chief place
in making up the lunch. Wet with wa
ter and a little salt added. It was baked
in a shape that stored away In the sad
dlebags nicely and was called journey
cake. This is the origin Of our modern,
unconventional jobnnycake.
