Crack Dawn
Does anyone know where the phrase "the crack of dawn" originated? ?
I know the definition, so I don't need that. I just want to know where it came from. It's a long story as to why I'm curious about this, but any information is helpful. Thanks.
Of course we all know this means early. Another American term in origin, the crack was from the German word, Krach, which means a loud noise. Loud noises are usually sudden, and so the Crack of Dawn in the saying refers to the sudden appearance of the sun when its rays first reach out in the horizon of the east. It's first appearance in print is thought to be in Outing in 1887.
