The book is divided into three parts, each covering a different period of New Netherland's history. The first part covers the period from 1609 to 1624, when the Dutch first explored and established a presence in the region. The second part covers the period from 1624 to 1647, when the Dutch West India Company governed the colony. The third part covers the period from 1647 to 1664, when the colony was taken over by the English.The narratives in the book include accounts from explorers, traders, and settlers, as well as official documents, letters, and reports. These sources provide insights into the early interactions between the Dutch and the Native American tribes in the region, as well as the political, economic, and social developments of the colony. Overall, Narratives of New Netherland: 1609-1664 is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the early history of the United States, particularly the colonial period. It provides a unique perspective on the Dutch colonization of the region and sheds light on a lesser-known aspect of American history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
