What does sakes alive mean?

"Sakes alive" is an expression of surprise or astonishment, often used to convey a sense of disbelief or excitement. It's an old-fashioned phrase that can evoke a reaction similar to "goodness gracious" or "oh my." The term likely derives from a combination of "sakes" (a variation of "sakes alive") and references to divine protection or presence. While not commonly used today, it can still be found in literature or in a playful context.

What is the origin of land sakes alive?

From my Grandmother, which was passed on to her from many generations of family. During the perilous journey from Europe to America many in the small ships would die from disease, malnutrition and general bad health that existed before the journey began. The trip would sometimes require months of misery at sea. At journeys end, and land came into sight, the beleaguered travelers would sometimes proclaim " Land, for the sake of God, we're alive." Thus the contraction " Land sakes alive" was very meaningful and has remained so - for generations, although the origin has been obscured by time.
