Does anyone know the background behind "doggone"? 

"Doggone" or "Dog gone" is one of the most classic of 
Donald Ducks expressions in the animated shorts.

I think Carl Barks got hus "diggon" from the 
shorts.

Is "doggone" something unique to 
Donald (Clarence Nash?) or was it common in 
America in the thirties/forties?
