It stands on the hill directly northeast of Muscoot Mountain in the southwestern part of Somers, and from its top can be seen the blue hills of Long Island across the sound, the northern elevations of Dutchess County and the distant lands of Connecticut. To the west it overlooks Yorktown and Cortlandt. One side of this curious rock has the appearance of an Indian's face. It is an immense mass of red granite, said to be the only specimen in the county, and is perched upon three lime-stone points, two feet or more above the surface of the ground, and four hundred feet above the Muscoot Valley. It was doubtless brought here by a glacier or droi)ped from an iceberg, which is mentioned in the old deeds as the " Cobbling Stone."

THE INDIANS OF WESTCHESTER COUNTY.

BY JAMES WOOD, A.M. President of the Westchester County Historical Society.

The 13th day of September, 1G09, marked the point of division between the pre-historic and the historic periods of the district of country now known as Westchester County. On that day Henry Hudson, the intrepid English navigator, anchored his vessel, the "Half-Moon," in the newly-discovered river, near the site of the present city of Yonkers. The dawn of the following day disclosed the residents of the village of Nappeckamak gathered upon the eastern shore, and viewing with wonder, but with a kindly interest, the strange revelation before them. We now know much, although far too little, of what has since transpired here ; but we know almost nothing of the events of the untold centuries that preceded that day.
