[Louis A. Brennan et al. (1962)] The Indians fought him fiercely with all their numbers, and he retreated southward down the coast to the vicinity of Throgs Neck, the south eastern end of Bronx County. Being hard pressed and the tide low, he crossed Long Island Sound by way of the small rocky islets known as Stepping Stones. At the terminus of Throgs Neck, he left the imprint of his big toe before jumping to the first of the Stepping Stones. This point has been called Satan's Toe. Enraged, the devil gathered a great mass of stones and boulders in the interior of Long Island and hurled them at his enemies across the Sound, leaving the western shore line boulder strewn as it can be seen today. As the legend goes, prior to this conflict, coastal Connecticut was completely free of stones and easily tillable: Scattered throughout the park lands are numerous glacial erratics, many of which have proved to be focal points of Indian habitation. Certain of these boulders were revered as holy places and used as council and trading areas. One such boulder situ- No. 26 November 1962 7 ated at the southeast end of Hunters Island in Pelham Bay Park, was called "Mishow" and reputed to have been an ancient religious gathering place of the Indians (Bolton, 1881, p. 89). Spirit voices from a rock, animal, or other object conveyed guidance to the hunter, warrior, or to the neophyte on reaching maturity.
