NY researcher: `Yankee Doodle' turns 250 — maybe (AP)

Paul Huey, an archaeologist for New York state, poses in front of a painting depicting Dr. Richard Shuckburg composing the lyrics to 'Yankee Doodle' in Rensselaer, N.Y., Monday, June 30, 2008. Huey believes he has narrowed down a date in June 1758 that Shuckburg, a British army physician, wrote the lyrics. As the story goes, Shuckburgh penned the lyrics at Fort Crailo, in Rensselaer, after being amused by the sloppy drill and appearance of New England militiamen.
