The Story of New Netherland: The Dutch in America

William Elliot Griffis

3.1/5 ( ratings)

This is the early history of the Dutch Colony in America. The author describes the settlers of the Middle States and the founders of the Empire State; what ideas and customs they brought here, how they struggled, first against a selfish corporation, then with the Native Indians of the areas they settled and finally against the English dukes and kings who seized the colony. They resisted all English attempts to fasten a state church upon the people and their descendants were loyal to the Continental cause and Congress. This is an early look at a fascinating and important time in the development of America.
