History of Canes Learn About the History of the Walking Cane There is a very long and interesting history of the walking canes and walking sticks. From the very earliest of times people across multiple civilations used walking canes not only for walking, but as an ornamental piece to accent their wardrobe and show their status in society. How Walking Canes Began Walking sticks started out as a necessary tool for the Shepherd and traveler.
A nice hefty stick was an excellent way to protect against thieves and to keep animals in line. Over time, the walking stick gradually began to be known as a symbol for power and strength, and eventually authority and social prestige.
By the turn of the century, walking sticks had become either novelty items or orthopedic aids. A London newspaper reported in how the usefulness of canes for many individuals had declined: "he needs not a help-he has no one to hit, and there is no one who will hit him; he needs not a support-for if he is fatigued, is there not the ponderous bus, the dashing Hansom, or the stealthy subterranean?
Indeed, the visibility of canes and walking sticks as fashionable or ceremonial items declined more rapidly during the interwar period. It lost its traditional association with gentility, power, and authority, instead becoming a symbol primarily associated with the elderly or infirm.

For guidance on this issue let us turn not to a lawyer, for we need to save our pennies for another cane that will go so excellently with our new suit , but to the man who made an art of dress: We can forgive a man for making a useful thing as long as he does not admire it.

Ever since human beings have walked upright, long sticks have been used in one way or another for climbing uneven ground and mountainous terrain. Thus, the history of walking sticks has developed right along with humanity itself. In the beginning, walking sticks as we know them today were poles, weapons, supports as well as walking aids, all in one.
Throughout the history of walking sticks, they have evolved from an icon of high social status for men, a sign of authority, to the fashionable accessory in the 17th and 18th century. During the Middle Ages kingly power came to be symbolized by the scepter carried in the right hand, while a second staff or scepter known as the "Hand of Justice" was carried in the left.
This scepter was surmounted by a hand in the act of blessing.
