This review is from: The Register of New Netherland, 1626-1674 (Paperback)

This book completely met my expectations for two reasons so I gave it 5 stars. It's not exactly a "bestseller of the month" topic, so others may not be so generous. I don't find much about New Amsterdam and was excited to find a book hot off the presses that went into enough background information about early Dutch settlement. I was also quite pleased to find the names of several ancestors named as settlers prior to 1625. Quite readable. There is an occasional non-native English speaker grammatical error, but I actually like that and I thank the author for his hard work and a job well done!
