Talk:Moodna Creek

comments
The Dutch word for murderer is "moordenaar", not "moordna" as claimed in the article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.254.155.48 (talk • contribs)
 * Not a problem; thank you for correcting it (None of the local historical sources I looked at knew or seemed to care what the original name in Dutch was. I knew someone here would). Daniel Case 14:28, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

Writing in 1853 and published as a book of letters in 1855, Nathaniel Parker Willis wrote that there were two explanations for the name. One is as given above - it was the site of some brutal murders; the other, which he favored, is that it was named after an Indian chief who gave his life to save that of a white colonial women. His book "Out-doors at Idlewild; or, The Shaping of a Home on the Banks of the Hudson" is a 400 page description of the Moodna Creek area and of his home which he built there. The book is available for free download from Google books. RichWandel (talk) 21:02, 18 May 2011 (UTC)
