Main Article Content
Abstract
Coinciding with the four-hundredth anniversary of Henry Hudson's first voyage to North America in 1609, Jaap Jacobs's release The Colony of New Netherland: A Dutch Settlement in Seventeenth-Century America provides one of the most comprehensive accounts of the colony published to date. Building upon the previous translations of Charles Gehring's work with the New Netherland Project, Jacobs's own meticulous analysis of practically every primary and secondary source pertaining to the Dutch colony offers an illuminating look into the Dutch presence in early America.
