Synopsis

This book is a collection and translation of 18th Century Dutch texts that primarily concern the early years of the Dutch colony of New Netherland on the northeast coast of North America. Most of the texts pertain to land transactions, legal disputes, trade, and the governance of the colony. The documents offer unique insights into the reality of daily life for colonists in this outpost of the Dutch empire, and chronicle the challenges they faced from its inception in the 1620s to the English takeover in 1664. The book also explores how the Dutch settlements in the region both displaced and interacted with the native peoples. Overall, this collection provides a rich resource for historians interested in the colonial era of North America, the Dutch empire, and relations between Europeans and Native Americans.
