Excerpt from Americanisms, Old and New: A Dictionary of Words, Phrases and Colloquialisms Peculiar to the United States, British America, the West Indies, &C., &C., Their Derivation, Meaning and Application Concerning some of these classes, a few words of explanation may not be unacceptable to the general reader. It would have been strange indeed had the Red Man failed to leave the most distinct impress upon the life and surroundings Of the American nation. This expectation is fully borne out by facts. Not alone in the names of localities, of plants and animals indigenous to the soil, and of prepara tions of food, but in metaphors and similes drawn from savage life and customs are found survivals, all replete with memories of the aborigines. These for the most part are sad and bitter, because born of the long and relentless struggle which has gone on between the two races ever smce the White man first set foot on American soil.
