All who have seen the ancient maps of North Carolina will
remember Win-gin-da-coa as its name. This was the first
thing said by a savage to Raleigh’s men. In reply to the
question, “What is the name of this country?” he answered,
“Win-gin-da-coa.” It was afterward learned that the North
Carolina aborigine said in this phrase, “Those are very
fine clothes you have on.” And so North Carolina carried a
fashion-plate label to unsuspecting readers.--EDWARD
EGGLESTON.
