Garbled confusion

[edit]

Moved this here: Two roads were built to access the Sawkill in the 17th century, attesting the value of the mill in Dutch Manhattan, one extending north from New Amsterdam along the path built by the Wuckquaasgeeks (a band of the Lenape), that is today known as Broadway, and the second reaching southward from the town of New Haarlem.<ref>Stokes 1998: index, "Topographic Features--Saw-kill"</ref>

This must be a garbled version of Stokes 1898 (not 1998), who could not have been the source of this confusion. The Boston Post Road was not built to reach this sawmill: it was the only exit from New Amsterdam. Broadway runs far to the west; in the 17th century it did not extend far beyond today's City Hall. I have corrected other garbled accounts in the text with an extended quote.--Wetman (talk) 15:13, 19 September 2012 (UTC)Reply
