Stephen Talkhouse (Stephen Taukus “Talkhouse” Pharaoh) (ca. 1821–1879) was a Montaukett Native American of the late 19th century who was famed for his 25-50 mile daily round trip walks from Montauk, New York to East Hampton and Sag Harbor.〔Jeannette Edwards Rattray, Tom Twomey, ''Discovering the Past: Writings of Jeannette Edwards Rattray, 1893-1974, Relating to the History of the Town of East Hampton, Suffolk County, New York'', New York: Newmarket Press, 2001〕 Landmarks along the route have been named for him. He was said to be a descendant of Chief Wyandanch, who sold much of the eastern end of Long Island to Lion Gardiner. Talkhouse died August 30, 1879 〔The Montaukett Indians of Eastern Long Island By John A. Strong〕 at age 58. He was buried in a small Indian burial ground on Talkhouse Lane off East Lake Drive in Montauk, now located within Theodore Roosevelt County Park. The remains of his home are also located there. Part of his route has been commemorated as part of the Paumanok Path. ==See also== *Montauk Point land claim 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Stephen Talkhouse」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
