Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a humorous account of the early political history of New York which, under Dutch rule, was called New Amsterdam. It is a chronicle of the sometimes zany and petty disputes between the Dutch rulers and the English colonists who eventually took over the territory and renamed it New York. The author uses the device of a fictional narrator to describe the events of 1609-1664 and offers a cast of memorable characters in the form of early political figures such as Wouter Van Twiller and Peter Stuyvesant. The book was first published in 1809 and has become a classic treatment of a key period in US history, celebrated for its witty and engaging narrative. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
