4.0 out of 5 stars
Great, easy to read book on the history of New Netherland.,
By Michael Scosyrev (Los Angeles, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Holland on the Hudson: An Economic and Social History of Dutch New York (Paperback)
This book is very easy to read, almost like a novel, yet, it contains highly detailed description of events that take place in 1602-1673.
Book contains several maps, graphs, and charts to visually aid the reader. The major themes of the book are: - The West India Company - Territorial Commitment Establishment, 1623-1628 - Anglo-Dutch Rivalry and Abandonment of the Company Monopoly - The People of New Netherland - New Netherland and the Amsterdam Merchants - Triumphs and Tragedies: New Netherland's Last Years. This is an excellent source of information for someone who wants to learn more about Dutch colonization of North America in the seventeenth century. |
