A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Présentation de l'éditeur

The Dutch Founding of New York, originally published in 1903, is a revealing look at a little known part of American history and the colonization of the new world. New York, with one of the world's largest natural harbors, traces its roots to its founding in 1624 as a fur trading post by Dutch colonists. The author details the Machiavellian workings of the Dutch West India Company as it creates a colony in order to exploit the resources of the new world. Other topics include Peter Stuyvesant and his tumultuous reign as overseer and the eventual surrender of New Amsterdam to the English. Illustrated with black and white drawings and maps.
