Origin of Yankee Doodle and the Macaroni Brigade Tale
The article traces Yankee Doodle to a German drinking song and recounts how Colonel Smallwood’s 200 Maryland infantrymen, nicknamed the Macaronis for their bright uniforms, inspired the tune. By Cornwallis’s surrender the brigade left only 15 survivors. the jest became a national anthem-like refrain from Maine to California and beyond.
