Thomas Buys,

The Pocanteco river has a two fold source, the first being on the lands of Isaac Lounsberry, in the vicinity of the Chappequa hills : and the other, a short distance from it.

After a progress of four miles, these streams unite and become a beautiful river, which is subsequently strengthened and augmented by numerous tributaries flowing from an extensive district of hills and valleys.

The whole course of this river from its spring heads to its outlet in the Hudson, is fraught with scenes of picturesque and romantic beauty. " Far in the foldings of the hills, (says the author of the Sketch Book) winds this wizard stream, sometimes silently and daikly through solemn woodlands, sometimes sparkling between grassy borders or fresh green meadows, sometimes stealing along the feet of rugged heights under tlie balancing sprays of beech and chesnut trees.
