the gobble. Edna Ferber explained this in Cimarron (1930): “[Yancy] opened his mouth and there issued from it a sound so dreadful, so unearthly as to freeze the blood . . . It was a sound between the gobble of an angry turkey cock and the howl of a coyote. Throughout the Southwest it was known that this terri- ble sound, famed as the gobble, was Cherokee in origin and a death cry among the Territory Indians.
