Re: Article on Origin of "Jayhakwer" Term

I find this very interesting. Down here in Arkansas I have heard the term "Jayhawkers" used with men who rode about the country stealing and killing. At first, I thought maybe some men actually came down from Kansas, but then I have found out it just referred to local men.
