Year Book of the Holland Society of New York: The Story of New Amsterdam, 1917

Description: This book delves into the establishment and growth of New Amsterdam, the settlement that would later become New York City. It recounts the initial 1624 settlement by the Dutch East India Company as a trading outpost and explores the trials and tribulations of the community as it transformed from a small trading post into a more substantial town. The book highlights the establishment of self-governance and the efforts of the community to shape its own destiny against the backdrop of a powerful trading company. It discusses the interplay between the Dutch settlers and the Native American population, and the evolving relationship between the local populace and the Dutch West India Company. Through the author's exploration of primary source documents, this book sheds light on the development of New Amsterdam and its eventual transition into New York under English rule.
