[Reginald Pelham Bolton (1922)] Here the trail connected with a consid-erable village-site (19) which covered a space of several acres on the level land west of the lake. On this area, when the regrad-ing of the present playing-field was under-taken in 1890, J. B. James found many fire-pits, a number of native human inter-ments, and several dog-burials. The name of this village is not recorded: it may have been Mosholu, by which name the surround-ing locality has been known to recent times, but more probably was included in the title of the tract of Keskeskick, that formed the first sale by the local natives to the Dutch West India Company in 1639. That sale was made by Taquemack, the local sachem, but was also agreed to by Reck-gawack, indicating its connection with the AND MONOGRAPHS 94 INDIAN PATHS possessions of the chieftaincy of the Reckgawawanc. The trail passed to the south of this village-site along the low ridge, on which the Van Cortlandt mansion was later placed, crossed Broadway at 244th street, and turned north and extended parallel with Broadway. This old highroad, now re named Newton avenue, can still be seen, much in its original condition (pi. vn). In this vicinity traces of native stations were discovered by J. B. James, at 247th street near the Fieldston road and at Pas-cal avenue. These doubtless had some relation to the Keskeskick village.
