Views Of Readers.
The New York Times Review of Books: As to the origin and meaning of the word "Manhattan," referred to by John J. D. Frenon in your issue of May 11th, I beg to quote from Ulmann's "A Landmark History of New York" as follows: It was the name of the Indian tribe that lived here. The name means, literally speaking, the "Place of the Whirlpool." and refers to the tumbling. rushing, boiling waters of Hell Gate that both fascinated and puzzled the natives. Powhatan R. Robinson, New York, May 12, 1913.
