Excerpt from Indian Names of Places in the Borough of Brooklyn: With Historical and Ethnological Notes The maize lands or cornfields, so frequently mentioned in the early records, were found already cleared, broken up, and cultivated by the rude clam-shell hoes of the squaws and well fertilized by the fish that were scattered annually over the ground by the same hands. These attributes, at the very beginning of settlement, saved the thrifty Dutch farmers untold labor. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from Indian Names of Places Near the Great Lakes, Vol. 1 A glance at a map of the country adjacent to our Great Lakes, will show that a large num ber of Indian Names of places, rivers, et ceiera, have been retained in their original or in a mutilated form; and it is with some of these, of Algonkin origin, with which we deal, in order to rescue from oblivion some interesting historical facts and legendary tales, as well as to give a clearer insight into the beautiful and well-equipped lan guage of the fast disappearing race of red men who once occupied that country. Most of these words have never appeared on the printed page, at least not in their present form; and those which the reader may have en countered in similar publications, will here be found interpreted either differently, or more fully.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Indian Names of Boston, and Their Meaning It will be seen that the region of Me Neck to which Shawmut (sha-um-ut) applied had its nar rowest part between Haymarket Square and North Street, about on a line at right angles to the front of Oak Hall. In the time of Winthrop a canal was cut along what is now Blackstone Street, per mitting small craft loaded with wood or other supplies procured on the shores of the Charles or Mystic to pass through for the needs of the dwell ers on the east side of the peninsula. The Neck proper extended scarcely a hundred yards along what is now Hanover Street, and comprised with it a strip on either side, a little more than twice the width of the present street, as laid down on Winsor's map. The farthest reach of the water from the east was a point about midway between Union and Blackstone streets, and equally distant from North and Hanover streets. The late Dr. T. W. Harris, librarian of Harvard College, as I am informed by Mr. Charles Deane. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
