En savoir plus sur le livre

Set against the backdrop of the 1660s, the narrative explores the Dutch community in Schenectady, a vibrant village on the northern frontier of New Netherland. Utilizing original documents, Thomas Burke paints a vivid picture of a community defined by farming and livestock, despite conflicts and a diverse population. Schenectady's unique position made it susceptible to the tensions between the French and English, while its story reflects broader themes in the history of New Netherland and New York. The updated second edition includes a new introduction by William Starna.
