According to Huey, the story of "Castle Island" may have been entirely invented by
"...Cuyler Reynolds, the City Historian, in 1926. He announced that a major historical discovery would occur during the new construction of the Port of Albany on Castle Island, proving that the first fort there was not Fort Nassau, built in 1614, but rather a French fort built in 1540. There is no known basis for such a hypothesis, and it is not known what, if anything, CR actually found."
