A Brief History of "Hash"
Creator: Rickey Holden and Lloyd Litman (1959)
This is a chapter from Instant Hash that appeared in American Squares magazine. Litman and Holden define hash as "a mixture of figures which come one after another so quickly that often there is no real figure pattern but merely one movement on top of another," and go on to describe several kinds of hash. They trace different regional styles of hash calling and mention influential callers using this approach.
