Returning to the upper Westchester or Shore path, which became the old Boston post-road, we find its starting point, now known as Boston avenue, in the village of Kingsbridge. Its course may be traced by reference to Map VII, A, C. This steep roadway connects at Giles street with Sedgwick avenue, where a little south of that intersection a small shell-pocket in the sidewalk gave an indication of a native rest-place alongside the old trail.

Thence the path proceeded north on the latter avenue as far as the point where Giles street turns in from Fort Independence.

These parts of the path are now, of course, lost in the reservoir.
