Origin of the yeggman term traced to Pinkerton’s 19th century note
The Cleveland Plain Dealer explains William A. Pinkerton introduced the word yeggman to high society about a dozen years prior in a National Bankers association address. He links the term to tramp and criminal dialect describing safe and postoffice explosers using nitroglycerin, and credits eponymic Johnny Yegg as a pioneer. The piece also recalls a cafe exchange about riding and safety.
