The Term May Have Had its Origin IN
the Ear East.
The origin OF the term "lndian sum-
mer," like that OF the word blizzard"
has been the subject OF much research.
1t has been traced back only as far as
the latter part of the eighteenth cen
tury, and It did not become common
until after the first decade OF the nine
teenth.
Many explanations OF the name have
been offered, all OF which assume That
the term Indian" used IN this connec-
ton refers TO the American Indians.
