Hawkie Stick

I am familiar with that of which Thoreau speaks….
Thoreau’s Journal: 02-Nov-1857
“How contagious are boys’ games! A short time ago they were spinning tops, as I saw and heard, all the country over. Now every boy has a stick curved at the end, a hawkie (?), in his hand, whether in yards, or in distant lanes I meet them.”
This is from a post of the wonderful blog, The Blog of Henry David Thoreau.
