"Skidaddle Ridge, New Brunswick, came by its name because it was a
hideout for draft dodgers. The "Skidaddlers were Democrats who, not
in sympathy with the Republican Party during the Civil War;
"skidaddled" out of the country. Most of them returned home after the
war, but many stayed to settle in New Brunswick and Southern Ontario.

These cookies are frequently packed in the lunch boxes carried by
hunters in this region."
