Indian Paths in the Great Metropolis
At the Old Point Comfort tavern the newer road diverges east to the bridge over the creek, but the old pathway necessarily kept on the western side, and so passing northward it joined the Shore path, at the old schoolhouse site in Eastchester village: Two blocks beyond the crossing of Hutchinson river, in the village of Pelham Manor, there diverged from the Shore path another trail which led southwardly to Anns hook, or Pelham neck, and thus came back within the boundaries of the metropolis.
