During the early 20th Century in p ...

Coming to terms with Early New Netherland - New York History: 1610-1614 While most histories of New Netherland begin with Henry Hudson’s 1609 voyage and skip to the founding of New Amsterdam in 1624, it’s the period between that holds the real fires of creation—not simply for the Dutch colony but all that followed in New York and the United States.
