Talk:Coxey's Army
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
They got scared when people got arrested from walking on a lawn? ...It's more like Pussy's Army
Once they lost their leaders, they simply drifted apart. How were they "pussies"? --Kross 02:25, Apr 15, 2005 (UTC)

I added the redirect from Cox's Army . I also want to add the following, but I know of no research on the history of the phrase:
-- section marker -- Linguistic Note
As of the 1970's "enough food to feed Coxey's Army" and other derivative phrases such as "that's enough to feed Cox's Army" had become opaque in at least Tulsa, OK, USA. That is, users of the phrase understood its meaning, but could not identify who or what Cox or Coxey was. (Source: personal experience) --Mossymosquito 26 Aug, 2005
-- The entire first paragraph was cut off for some reason; I went on Answers.com and got the original text from their Wikipedia source because for some reason they have the full version. I hyperlinked the words as well.
