| Abstract | Donated by Dennis BoyerHow and when yodeling came to the New World is a subject of some speculation. Most conventional wisdom pins the yodel's transmission from Europe's Alpine region at no earlier than the 1820s. The fact that this is 200 years after the first European settlers arrived begs the question: Could the yodel have stowed away and arrived much earlier, say, among the first waves of Germanic immigrants in the 1670s? Or did the yodel sneak in with the Scandinavians in the 1660s or with the first African slaves in the 1620s? |
