More information (just googled "block hill".) As you probably know Butter Hill is a hill near West Point on the Hudson (part of the Higlands.) There was/is granite quarrying there. According to Wickipedia, a license block is a geographically defined area for the purpose of prospecting, exploration and mining or extraction of natural resources.Each block is identified by a unique name or number.
So I wonder if Isaac was refering to quarrying Butter Hill?
