Indian Hunting Grounds of Algonquin St. Francis Indians
Cohoes city historian Hugh P. Graham describes in detail the Indian hunting and fishing grounds along the Batten Kill and surrounding rivers, naming camps near Cossayuna Lake and chunks Creek, routes from New England, and the destruction of Rupert Mountains settlement in July 1777. He traces camps through Egg Mountain to Green River and Batten Kill, noting Creeks, streams, and springs that formed historic fishing grounds. The article also notes a statistic: two people killed and 200 injured in U S accidents on average every ten minutes.
