Indian Paths in the Great Metropolis
A village of extensive character, and one which was asserted to have been the scene of important gatherings and ceremonies in ancient times, was situated at Cedar and Dongan streets, West New Brighton, and burials within its area were found on the site of the parish house of the Church of the Ascension. Other camp-sites were INDIAN PATHS • situated at the Harbor Hill golf-links (86), above Castleton avenue at Silver lake (78), on Harbor hill near Harbor brook and Lafayette avenue, and some scattered relics along the Shore road near St George.
Farther west along the shore, at Mariners Harbor, or Arlington, a station (74) existed on a sandy knoll on South avenue, opposite the railroad station. A larger and more ancient village and burial place (73) was found at Bowmans brook (or Newtons creek), under the site of the Milliken Brothers' steel works, beyond which, at Western avenue and the Shore road, a more recent site was found. At Old Place (75) in the same district, on a sandy promontory known as Tunissens neck, a large village of ancient character existed.
