"Old Kinderhook", refers to Martin Van Buren's birthplace, attempting to popularize 'OK' as a rallying cry during his (unsuccessful) New York Democratic Primary campaign in 1840. Incidentally, many theories claiming 'okeh' as a First Nations word have all failed from a lack of any linguistic attest. Do not, please, perpetuate this 'rural' legend.
