Excerpt from Indian Legends of Saratoga and of the Upper Hudson Valley
Ye say their conelike cabins
That clustered o'er the vale,
Have disappear'd as wither'd leaves
Before the autumn's gale;
But their memory liveth on your hills,
Their baptism on your shore,
Your everlasting rivers speak
Their dialect of yore.
Mrs. Sigourney.

In the days of its old-time Indian occupancy the region of the great north wilderness in which the modern village of Saratoga Springs is now situated was not known to the Indians as Sa-ragh-to-ga, hut formed a part of the old Mohawk hunting-ground, called by them Kay-ad-ros-se-ra.
In the old time the name Sa-rayh-to-ga was applied by the Mohawks only to the hill-side region bordering on the Hudson River, and lying between the Hudson and Saratoga Lake.
