Indian Paths in the Great Metropolis — Passage 16
[Reginald Pelham Bolton (1922)] The most important native station, how-ever, was that known as Keskaechquerem or Keskaechqueren (104), a name which indicates a place of meeting for some public purpose. The importance of Kes-kaechquerem as a meeting place for the natives coming from all directions would indicate its situation at some point where the main lines of travel converge. The station on Canarsie neck does not appear favorably in this regard. It seems to have been more of a place for the cultivation of crops and the manufacture of wampum. The most natural position for a place of meeting in this locality is Flatlands (104), a place where a known station existed, which is situated at the junction of paths INDIAN NOTES CO CO O 3
