Winthrop & Kalapuya

[David Robertson]

"...they would scoff, and call him Kallapooya, meanest of Indians..."

(p. 49 of Theodore Winthrop, n.d. Canoe and Saddle (Nisqually Edition).
Portland, OR:  Binfords & Mort.)

This was in the 1850s.  The ethnic insult mentioned is found elsewhere,
later, in Jargon, isn't it?

(This is meant as a scholarly note.  PLEASE DON'T use this word
carelessly.  We've seen the bad effects before when people have used CJ in
thoughtless ways.)
