New Netherland Zotero Bibliography

The New Netherland bibliography is a comprehensive list of scholarly, nonfiction publications that are broadly related to the seventeenth-century Dutch colony and its legacy in America. Its purpose is to facilitate research across the disciplines in areas such as history, archaeology, anthropology, genealogy, and ethnology.

This Zotero library (compiled by Julie van den Hout and Stephen McErleane and currently over 1,100 sources) still needs some cleaning up, but in order to not delay, we present it here. As always, let us know what we’ve missed.

  • A Biography of a Map in Motion: Augustine Herrman's Chesapeake
    Item Type Book
    Author Christian J. Koot
    Abstract Reveals the little known history of one of history’s most famous maps – and its makerTucked away in a near-forgotten collection, Virginia and Maryland as it is Planted and Inhabited is one of the most extraordinary maps of colonial British America. Created by a colonial merchant, planter, and diplomat named Augustine Herrman, the map pictures the Mid-Atlantic in breathtaking detail, capturing its waterways, coastlines, and communities. Herrman spent three decades travelling between Dutch New Amsterdam and the English Chesapeake before eventually settling in Maryland and making this map. Although the map has been reproduced widely, the history of how it became one of the most famous images of the Chesapeake has never been told. A Biography of a Map in Motion uncovers the intertwined stories of the map and its maker, offering new insights into the creation of empire in North America. The book follows the map from the waterways of the Chesapeake to the workshops of London, where it was turned into a print and sold. Transported into coffee houses, private rooms, and government offices, Virginia and Maryland became an apparatus of empire that allowed English elites to imaginatively possess and accurately manage their Atlantic colonies. Investigating this map offers the rare opportunity to recapture the complementary and occasionally conflicting forces that created the British Empire. From the colonial and the metropolitan to the economic and the political to the local and the Atlantic, this is a fascinating exploration of the many meanings of a map, and how what some saw as establishing a sense of local place could translate to forging an empire.

    Abstract For over 50 years, a letter Jeronimus dela Croix wrote in 1634 describing a journey into the Mohawk Valley, and an accompanying map, have been accepted as authentic additions to the official journal of the Dutch expedition led by Harmen Meyndertsz van den Bogaert. The dela Croix letter contains unique information on the exploration and the Iroquois Indians they encountered. Both internal and external evidence indicate that the letter is a forgery, although no one has determined the forger or his motive. Reproduces the letter and map in the original Dutch and in English translation.

  • A Civil Society: Court and Community in Beverwijck, New Netherland, 1652-1664
    Item Type Thesis
    Author Martha Dickinson Shattuck
    Abstract The relationship between Dutch jurisprudence and trade in the community of Beverwijck (present-day Albany, New York) is important to the understanding of Dutch colonial society. Beverwijck's heterogeneous society of freemen lived in a densely configured, isolated settlement situated 150 miles from the seat of the colonial government in New Amsterdam. Given the social tensions and political problems inherent to this competitive, ethnically diverse, compact, isolated community, Beverwijck had the components for a lawless, frontier society. Indeed, historians have assumed that it was a rude place, lacking culture and order. By examining local and colonial court, notarial, and church records, colonial and Dutch laws, and private correspondence, this study reveals that instead, Beverwijck was a stable, viable community. As were all the communities in the colony, it was governed by a court which acted in administrative, executive, and judicial capacities. Its duties and laws strictly adhered to the customary and statutory laws of Holland which affected nearly every aspect of daily life. The centrality of the court to the community gave the society its focus and structure. It provided a forum, through litigation and petitions, for the community's economic, political, and interpersonal concerns. Furthermore, because of the liberality of Dutch law, women enjoyed broader rights than did their English counterparts in colonial America, not the least of which was the ability to actively participate in the commercial culture. The demands of a New World society did not change Dutch jurisprudence. Colonial ordinances were shaped to conform to the intent of Dutch law. Designed to support a commercial culture in the Netherlands, the legal system was equally apt for the trading society of Beverwijck and New Netherland.

  • "A Daingerous Liberty": Mohawk-Dutch Relations and the Colonial Gunpowder Trade, 1534–1665
    Item Type Thesis
    Author Shaun Sayres
    Abstract This thesis examines seventeenth-century Mohawk-Dutch relations through the lens of the colonial gunpowder trade. Looking through the eyes of cultural brokers such as Arent van Curler or Saggodryochta, it argues the Dutch colonies of New Netherland and Rensselaerswijck and the Mohawk Nation of the Haudenosaunee formed a symbiotic relationship that significantly altered the geopolitical landscape of eastern North America in the seventeenth century. As time wore on, and neighboring European colonies and Indian nations grew stronger, the Mohawks and Dutch grew increasingly dependent on one another for survival. These Mohawk-Dutch encounters and negotiations, dictated by the need for gunpowder and pelts, reveal a distinct arc of intertwined fates, outlining their shared rise, peak, and decline within a world embroiled in conflict. As a result of perpetual mourning wars, and a colony plagued with indigenous conflicts, New Netherland never possessed adequate stores of guns, powder, and shot to defend itself from invasion or fuel endless Mohawk conquests. The Mohawks survived, but the Dutch did not, relinquishing New Netherland to the English without a shot in 1664.

  • A Dutch Family in the Middle Colonies: 1660–1800
    Item Type Book
    Author Firth Haring Fabend
    Abstract Firth Haring Fabend has studied a large colonial American family over five generations. The Haring family settled in the Hackensack Valley (on the New York/New Jersey border), where they lived, prospered, and remained throughout the eighteenth century. Fabend looks at how this ordinary family of independent, middle-class farmers coped with immigration, established themselves in a community, acquired land and capital, and took part in the social, political, economic, and religious changes of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.As she traces the lives of the Harings and their neighbors, Fabend focuses on their marriage and childbearing patterns, living conditions, agricultural methods, and relative economic position. She investigates inheritance patterns, concluding that the position of women deteriorated under English law. She is equally interested in the political and religious life of the family. The Harings formed a church fitting their Pietist beliefs, and this church became central to community life. Their theology encouraged them to question religious authority, which in turn fostered the questioning of political authority. Their community became a seedbed for revolutionary activity. Fabend examines the family's position in the Revolution--primarily patriot--and the losses they suffered in that conflict. The Harings of colonial America were ideal yeoman farmers, a class that stood well in the social hierarchy of the day. They were industrious, they prospered, and they participated in the civic life of colonial America. But once the new republic formed, they were not very visible. Fabend argues that they maintained their "Dutchness" more consciously than ever after the Revolution, which hindered their full participation in public affairs. In some ways, the fifth and sixth generations were more Dutch than the early generations.

  • A Dutch Woman in an English World: The Legacy of Alida Livingston of New York
    Item Type Thesis
    Author Melinda M. Mohler
    Abstract In 1674, at the conclusion of the Third Dutch War, the Treaty of Westminster placed the Dutch New Netherlands permanently under English control. For the many businesswomen of Dutch heritage who resided in the New Netherlands during the late seventeenth century, this shift in colonial power resulted in a drastic loss of economic freedom and, in many cases, brought an end to their public business ventures. As Dutch businesswomen increasingly retreated from the public sphere, their need to document daily activities dwindled and records of their personal lives all but disappeared. A study of the correspondence of Alida Schuyler Livingston of New York, a member of the Schuyler family by birth and the Van Rensselaer and Livingston families by marriage, illuminates the life of an elite Dutch businesswoman during this transitional phase. Alida's husband, Robert Livingston, is recognized historically for his political and mercantile ventures. However, it was his wife who managed the couple's vast resources, including 160,000 acres of manorial land, a bakery, brewery, gristmill and sawmill. The Livingstons' agreement to settle – and victual – Palatine refugees at Livingston Manor during the early eighteenth century resulted in disastrous financial consequences for the Livingstons and deplorable conditions for the Palatines. Alida's administration of the manor's industries bolstered the family's finances and permitted them to continue to trade during the worst economic experience of their marriage. Alida Schuyler Livingston did not own land independently, write a joint will with her spouse or operate a business in her own name. However, her letters reveal that she managed and sold slaves, independently negotiated the price of wheat, supervised millers, bakers and brewers and conducted trade with local Indians during her lengthy marriage – as her husband's equal partner. Viewed through the lens of the twenty-first century, it is tempting to pity Alida's years of hard work that resulted in a business empire attributed to her husband. In reality, Alida Livingston did what her mother and ancestors before her had done – labored to provide financial security for her family, but under the constraints of English common law. It is through a study of her daily activities and relationships – with her husband, children, tradesmen, slaves and employees – that the extent of Alida Livingston's contribution to the Livingston family legacy is revealed.

    Abstract This classic account of Colonial-era New York chronicles how the state was buffeted by political and sectional rivalries and by conflict arising from a wide diversity of ethnic and religious identities. New York's highly volatile and contentious political life, Patricia U. Bonomi shows, gave rise to a number of interest groups for whose support political leaders had to compete, resulting in new levels of democratic participation.

    Abstract A Huguenot on the Hackensack is the first full-length study of David Demarest, an early European settler of northeastern New Jersey and progenitor of a large and locally influential family. The book examines Demarest's life, the legacy of his family, and the wider "Jersey Dutch" community in which the family played a prominent part. The book looks beneath accumulated layers of legend and older historical interpretations to formulate a new and more realistic (and more interesting) account of Demarest's life and legacy.

  • “A Little Land...to Sow Some Seeds”: Real Property, Custom, and Law in the Community of New Amsterdam
    Item Type Thesis
    Author Adriana E. Van Zwieten
    Abstract The rights inherent to the institution of real property were transplanted across the Atlantic to New Netherland and were fundamental in establishing the community of New Amsterdam (present-day New York City) and shaping its future. Property rights were set down in customs and laws that had ordered the urban and rural landscape of the United Provinces of the Netherlands for generations. They were well known to New Netherland's officials and settlers who shared the common experience of a dynamic urban-centered life in the most developed Western European society of the early seventeenth century. Yet, historians have failed to recognize the rich tradition of individual land ownership as practiced in the Netherlands and applied in its North American colony. The relationship between the Dutch institution of real property and the development of New Amsterdam is important in understanding an essential feature of Dutch colonial life: the possession and management of land. By examining the colonial records (provincial and municipal land, court, and notarial records) and the colonial and Dutch legal codes (of New Netherland, New Amsterdam, the province of Holland, and the city of Amsterdam), this study reveals how the officials of the West India Company and immigrants to America transplanted an urban model of land possession and management. By granting and protecting praedial rights, local officials brought order to the lives of the colony's inhabitants. By demanding adherence to the rights in the provincial and municipal courts, settlers perpetuated the familiar “Customs of the Fatherland.” Customary practices influenced the use of the urban landscape. The houses that were built on New Amsterdam's lots faced the street or canal where the commercial life of the city was most intense. Dutch law and custom governed the procedures for selling and leasing, for implementing community projects and taxation, for establishing building codes and servitudes (easements), and for bequeathing to the next generation either by will or under the guidance of the Orphan Chamber. Advanced in the commercial centers of the Netherlands, the urban model of real property established a legacy of land possession that would affect New York City's subsequent generations.

    Item Type Journal Article

    Author George R. Hamell
    Abstract In the 16th and 17th centuries, North American Woodland Indians valued certain European trading items for their similarity to rare and valuable Indian cultural items that had ceremonial and even ideological significance. Novel items such as copper goods and glassware bore striking resemblance to known items such as crystals and shells and were used along side them. Woodland Indians constructed cultural metaphors that permitted them to incorporate both European traders and their "baubles" into their metaphysical world, considering early trade not an economic but a ceremonial transaction. Continued contact, particularly through the fur trade, destroyed the ritual significance of European goods.

  • A People Within and Without: International Jewish Commerce and Community in the Seventeenth and Eighteenth Centuries Dutch Atlantic World
    Item Type Thesis
    Author Noah L. Gelfand
    Abstract This dissertation examines how Jews organized their communal and religious affairs, conducted business, maintained intercolonial and transnational networks, and acted as international intermediaries in bridging imperial boundaries in the Atlantic world during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. It does this through an exploration of five colonial locations--Recife in Brazil, Curaçao, New Netherland (later New York), Suriname, and Newport, Rhode Island--and argues that kin-based Jewish commercial networks played a significant role in Europe's expansion in the Americas and were a formative component in the development of an Atlantic system of private commercial exchange. Expanding upon recent scholarship on early modern Jewish mercantile activities, the dissertation is the first to compare these five colonial settlements together in one study and is unique in emphasizing the inseparable nature of organizing commercial networks and founding Jewish communities in the New World--a double project--that was at the heart of the Jewish colonizing efforts in the Dutch Atlantic. Thus, the leading merchants of Recife, Curaçao, and Newport were also the most influential members of the synagogues in their communities. The central argument of "A People Within and Without" is that through their commercial connections and cultural skills, Jews were able to make themselves invaluable agents to the forces of European imperial expansion. As a result, Jews, who were a people free from attachment to any one nation, took advantage of the liminal Atlantic world of developing national empires to secure both economic and religious privileges in the Americas--privileges that were often closed to them in Europe. Yet, the dissertation details how, like other marginalized groups, Jews had to strive often to maintain their privileges and overcome episodic attempts to proscribe or limit their commercial and religious practices. Finally, in studying the commercial and communal orientation of Jews in places like Curaçao, New York and Newport the dissertation complicates the traditional national narratives of colonization and illustrates the transnational connections that existed between North America, the Caribbean, South America, Africa, and Europe and thus offers a more realistic view of how the Atlantic world actually operated during the early modern period.

  • A Perfect Babel of Confusion: Dutch Religion and English Culture in the Middle Colonies
    Item Type Book
    Author Randall Herbert Balmer
    Abstract Examining the interaction of the Dutch and the English in colonial New York and New Jersey, this study charts the decline of European culture in North America. Balmer argues that the combination of political intrigue, English cultural imperialism, and internal socio-economic tensionseventually drove the Dutch away from their hereditary customs, language, and culture. He shows how this process, which played itself out most visibly and poignantly in the Dutch Reformed Church between 1664 and the American Revolution, illustrates the difficulty of maintaining non-English culturesand institutions in an increasingly English world. A Perfect Babel of Confusion redresses some of the historiographical neglect of the Middle Colonies and, in the process, sheds new light on Dutch colonial culture.

    Editor Peter N. Miller
    Abstract Commemorating the 400th anniversary of Henry Hudson’s voyage and the lasting legacy of Dutch culture in New York, this book explores the life and times of a fascinating woman, her family, and her things. Margrieta was born in the Netherlands but lived at the extremes of the Dutch colonial world, in Malacca on the Malay Peninsula and in Flatbush, Brooklyn. When she came to New York in 1686 with her husband and set up a shop, she brought an astonishing array of Eastern goods, many of which were documented in an inventory made after her death in 1695. Extensive archival research has enabled a collaborative team to reconstruct her story and establish the depth of her connection to Dutch trading establishments in Asia. This is a groundbreaking contribution to the histories of New York City, the Dutch overseas empire, women, and material culture.

  • A Typology of Seventeenth-Century Dutch Ceramics and Its Implications for American Historical Archaeology
    Item Type Thesis
    Author Richard Gerhard Schaefer
    Abstract During the Golden Age, Dutch merchants and the Dutch commercial fleet dominated the European economy. Although economic prosperity in the United Provinces did not necessarily encourage colonization abroad, the Dutch did plant settlements under the auspices of commercial trading companies, as was the case with New Netherland. Archaeological study of New Netherland has been hindered because the remains of the chief colonial settlements lie beneath present-day Albany and New York City, where excavation has been difficult and preservation generally poor. In addition, archaeologists of New Netherland and other areas where the Dutch were active have had to develop a familiarity with artifacts from a non-English culture, and logically, have turned to Dutch colleagues and their publications. Ceramics are of particular interest, given their durability, ubiquity on archaeological sites, their reflection of socioeconomic status and foodways, and their sensitivity to changes in style. Unfortunately, despite Dutch archaeologists' vast knowledge of ceramics there is no comprehensive work describing the range of forms present in the 17th-century Dutch household. To fill this need, the author has developed a typology of Dutch ceramics from the first three-quarters of the 17th century, which roughly coincides with the period of Dutch cultural and political hegemony in New Netherland. It is based on an analysis of the ceramics recovered from two 17th-century sites in Amsterdam, and the examination of kiln wasters from the redware production center of Bergen op Zoom. These data were augmented by information from archaeological and historical publications, paintings and prints, inventories, and study collections from Bergen and Amsterdam. The focus is on utilitarian red earthenwares, which comprise the greatest part of the Dutch ceramic assemblage. Forms are organized in usage categories, described, given their 17th-century Dutch names, and drawings of artifacts illustrating these forms are provided. This typology provides a source book for archaeologists studying New Netherland as well as other contemporary Dutch and Dutch-influenced sites.

  • “Act with the Cunning of a Fox”: The Political Dimensions of the Struggle for Hegemony over New Netherland, 1647–1653
    Item Type Journal Article
    Author Jaap Jacobs
    Abstract This article explores the political dimensions of the power struggle that engulfed the Dutch colony of New Netherland in the 1640s and 1650s. The existing interpretations employ Native American, social, religious, moral and personal perspectives, but leave many questions. This article argues that the composition of the groups involved in the struggle changed over its course and sets it within a Dutch political context. It highlights the political affiliations of the chief protagonists and argues that the outcome was shaped by political developments in the Dutch Republic rather than in New Netherland. By focusing on the role of the New Netherland patroons and their network, this article nuances the standard view of the incorporation of New Amsterdam as a victory for that city’s mercantile elite.

  • Adriaen Van Der Donck, New Netherland, and America
    Item Type Thesis
    Author Ada Louise Van Gastel
    Abstract The dissertation treats the life of Adriaen van der Donck (1620-1655), and gives a rhetorical analysis of his writings. The Dutch Van der Donck immigrated in 1641 to that part of America which was then a colony of the Netherlands, called New Netherland. New Netherland comprised parts of New York State, New Jersey, Delaware, Pennsylvania and Connecticut. He was first legal officer for the patroon Kiliaen van Rensselaer, then established his own patroonship of Yonkers, and was in 1648 elected a member of the Board of Nine Men, a representative body of the inhabitants of New Netherland. He was the main force behind Vertoogh van Nieu-Neder-land ("Representation of New Netherland," 1650), which described the colony and voiced the popular grievances against the West India Company (which supervised New Netherland)--particularly against the management of directors general Kieft and Stuyvesant. Van der Donck traveled to the Netherlands to present the Representation in person to the government of the Netherlands. He also had it published as a pamphlet to awaken the sympathy of the public at large. For more than three years, van der Donck was active in promoting the cause of New Netherland, warning again and again that, unless speedy measures were taken to redress the "very poor and most low condition," New Netherland would be lost: "the English will annex it." By writing numerous petitions, memoranda, and reports, van der Donck further sharpened his talents as a writer. His work is precise, intelligent, creative, lively, and effectively organized. He had a good ear for language, and, above all, a keen sense of audience. His masterwork, Beschryvinge van Nieuw-Nederlant ("Description of New Netherland," 1655; 2nd ed. 1656), includes some forty pages on the American Indians, and a report with original research findings of his dissection of beavers. Describing as it does the wedge of land in between New England and Virginia, and providing us with insight into a neglected group of early colonists, Van der Donck's work belongs among such classics as Bradford's Of Plymouth Plantation, Winthrop's Journal, and Wood's New Englands Prospect. (However, a new translation of the Description is needed because the existing one--dating from 1841--is both incomplete and unreliable.)

    Item Type Book
    Author J. Van den Hout
    Abstract This book tells the compelling story of the young legal activist Adriaen van der Donck (1618–1655), whose fight to secure the struggling Dutch colony of New Netherland made him a controversial but pivotal figure in early America. At best, he has been labeled a hero, a visionary, and a spokesman of the people. At worst, he has been branded arrogant and selfish, thinking only of his own ambitions. The wide range of opinions about him testifies to the fact that, more than three centuries after his death, Van der Donck remains an intriguing character.

  • Agricultural Gentility as a Revolutionary Social Vision: The Livingston Family and the New York Manor Class, 1660–1813
    Item Type Thesis
    Author David Hamilton Grace
    Abstract This dissertation examines the seventeenth- and eighteenth-century emergence of New York's Hudson Valley manor class. It focuses on the way in which a small group of families, often following the Livingstons' lead, distinguished themselves as a landed aristocracy; how a distinct genteel ideology guided their participation in the American Revolution; and the ways in which their specific worldview contributed important threads to postwar republican agricultural reform. Most historians tell the story of the development of New York's landed class from the point of view of colonial officials or the tenants. Revenue shortfalls, slow population growth, and the prevalence of leaseholds all suggest that something was amiss. In light of the colony's persistent failure to meet expectations, New York's great landholders appear retrograde—families primarily interested in exploiting their tenants and preserving the vestiges of failed seventeenth-century attempts to plant feudalism in America. This dissertation approaches the creation of the landed class from the great proprietors' perspective and offers an important revision by reintegrating elements of the old feudal declension tale into the story of class development. The Hudson Valley elite, successfully manipulated the Stuart governments' attempted reforms, melded contemporary Dutch and English land practices into an English-looking manor system, and crafted themselves into a regional social class. The process, however, involved more than the acquisition of money, political power, and cultural refinements. Objections voiced by opponents of large estates, ironically, provided a mythic heritage that allowed New York's landed gentry to distinguish themselves, as a contemporary British landed aristocracy, from the colony's other wealthy families. English aristocratic notions about agricultural reform and rural retirement as an active means of social and political engagement, in turn, provided the main components for a genteel agrarian worldview. Although this worldview was anathema to the New England agrarian belief in yeoman self-sufficiency, it was neither anachronistic nor counter-revolutionary. In the hands of Robert R. Livingston, Jr., agricultural reform became a revolutionary activity. His particular strain of aristocratic agrarianism helped shape the direction the American Revolution in New York and contributed an important strand to American agricultural reform in the early republic.

    Author William A. Starna
    Editor Roger G. Panetta
    Abstract The 2009 quadricentennial celebrations commemorating the discovery of the Hudson River by Henry Hudson will also spotlight one of our deepest and most enduring national legaciesthe Dutch presence that has shaped not just the Hudson Valley but four centuries of American life. This lavishly illustrated book, a companion to the exhibition opening in June 2009 at the Hudson River Museum, takes needed stock of the remarkable past created by the settlers of New Netherlands. Although the Dutch controlled the Hudson Valley only until ceding it to the British in 1664, the Dutch established the towns and cities that today define the regionfrom New Amsterdam upriver to Fort Orange, todays Albany. The Dutch heritage lives on, not only in historic estates or Dutch-named places like the Bronx or Yonkers but also in commerce, law, politics, religion, art, and culture. In thirteen original essays, this book traverses those four centuries to enrich and expand our understanding of Americas origins. The essays, written by a superb team of distinguished scholars, are grouped into five chronological frames1609, 1709, 1809, 1909, and 2009each marking a key point in the history of the Dutch in the valley. The topics range widely, from patterns of settlement and the Dutch encounter with slavery and Native America to Dutch influences in everything from architecture and religion to material culture, language, and literature. Based on fresh research, this book is at once a fascinating introduction to a remarkable past and a much-needed new look at the Dutch role in the region, in the story of Americas origins, and in creating the habits, styles, and practices identified as quintessentially New Yorks.

    Abstract This collection of essays deals with the political, commercial, religious, and intellectual relationship of the two leading cities on Manhattan Island during the early part of American history—Nieuw Amsterdam and New York City. It explores the interaction of merchants and ministers, books and bankers, consults and canticles, through the high and low tides of this durable urban exchange. In particular, this history shows how regional dominance shifted from Nieuw Amsterdam in the early 18th century—when it overshadowed New York City in size, prestige, wealth, and power—to New York City in the 19th century as immigration boosted New York’s population growth while Nieuw Amsterdam’s stalled.

  • Amsterdam: A History of the World's Most Liberal City
    Item Type Book
    Author Russell Shorto
    Abstract Tourists know Amsterdam as a picturesque city of low-slung brick houses lining tidy canals; student travelers know it for its legal brothels and hash bars; art lovers know it for Rembrandt's glorious portraits. But the deeper history of Amsterdam, what makes it one of the most fascinating places on earth, is bound up in its unique geography-the constant battle of its citizens to keep the sea at bay and the democratic philosophy that this enduring struggle fostered. Amsterdam is the font of liberalism, in both its senses. Tolerance for free thinking and free love make it a place where, in the words of one of its mayors, "craziness is a value." But the city also fostered the deeper meaning of liberalism, one that profoundly influenced America: political and economic freedom. Amsterdam was home not only to religious dissidents and radical thinkers but to the world's first great global corporation. In this effortlessly erudite account, Russell Shorto traces the idiosyncratic evolution of Amsterdam, showing how such disparate elements as herring anatomy, naked Anabaptists parading through the streets, and an intimate gathering in a sixteenth-century wine-tasting room had a profound effect on Dutch-and world-history. Weaving in his own experiences of his adopted home, Shorto provides an ever-surprising, intellectually engaging story of Amsterdam.

    Item Type Book
    Author Yda Schreuder
    Abstract "This book surveys the role of Amsterdam's Sephardic merchants in the westward expansion of sugar production and trade in the seventeenth-century Atlantic. It offers an historical-geographic perspective, linking Amsterdam as an emerging staple market to a network of merchants of the "Portuguese Nation," conducting trade from the Iberian Peninsula and Brazil. Examining the "Myth of the Dutch," the "Sephardic Moment," and the impact of the British Navigation Acts, Yda Schreuder focuses attention on Barbados and Jamaica and demonstrates how Amsterdam remained Europe's primary sugar refining center through most of the seventeenth century and how Sephardic merchants played a significant role in sustaining the sugar trade"--Back cover.

  • An Historiograph of an Early Fort in the New World: Fort Elsborg, Salem County, New Jersey, Including an Examination of the Geography, History and Politics of the Region
    Item Type Thesis
    Author Susanne Marie Eidson
    Abstract New Sweden would not have fallen to the Dutch, had it not been for the actions of Governor Printz at Fort Elfsborg. Printz used Elfsborg to aggressively control trade along the Delaware River. In retaliation, the Dutch built Fort Casimir. No longer viable, Elfsborg was abandoned. In 1654, Johan Rising replaced Printz and attacked Casimir. The Dutch retaliated and defeated the Swedes. A thorough investigation of Fort Elfsborg and the related topics required a study of numerous resources. Translations by Amandus Johnson, and others were of extreme value. The research concluded that the actions taken by Rising were predicated by Printz. Had Printz acted with diplomacy, the Dutch would not have built Casimir, and Rising would have had no reason to attack the Dutch. The colonies would have co-existed, until the English seized both colonies. Further study of Elfsborg, particularly an archaeological investigation, is recommenced.

  • Anglo-Dutch Relations in and around Seventeenth-Century New Amsterdam/New York

    Author Claudia Schnurmann

    Editor Hans Krabbendam
    Abstract Discusses the relationship between 17th-century "mother-city" Amsterdam and its "daughter-town" New Amsterdam by examining woodcuts and copper-plate engravings that represent both the Netherlands and its colonies. These pieces, through their images, metaphors, and mottos, give an idea of the Dutch national character as well as the attitudes that 15th- and 16th-century Dutch elites had toward Dutch colonial possessions. The case of the Amsterdam-New Amsterdam relationship demonstrates that Netherland's commercial powerbrokers desired a semiautonomous status for colonial entities, a situation that would advance mutual prosperity through trade and commerce. Consequently, they showed little interest in establishing or maintaining strict imperial or colonial control.

  • Another Kind of Beads: A Forgotten Industry of the North American Colonial Period
    Item Type Thesis
    Author Duane Eugene Esarey
    Abstract This dissertation bears on a minor chapter in the colonial history of northeastern North America. My identification of 39 forms of marine shell ornaments as a unified industry foregrounds the presence of these products across 127 Historic Period archaeological sites in 18 states. I have designated this industry "Standardized Marine Shell" (hereafter SMS). Known almost entirely from archaeological specimens, the significance of these ornaments has proved approachable only through amassing a large analyzable inventory. When SMS is seen as a distinct product from both wampum and Native-modified marine shell ornaments, it can be perceived as a previously undefined industry spanning circa 1635-1710 A.D. The robust and varied SMS industry subsequently gives way to smaller and simpler shell ornament industries continuing into the late 19th century. After an initial assessment of the colonial setting and characteristics of SMS production, I explore an inventory of 4845 ornaments, verifying this as a bounded industry and clarifying that the primary recipients of these standardized ornaments are the central figures in the 17th century Dutch fur trade network, as represented by 127 archaeological sites. I develop a statistical representation of SMS chronological affiliations that I term "span factored annual percentages" (SFAP) which graph each form's history, cumulatively illustrating SMS as a commodity. The image that emerges is of a small-scale production and distribution strategy initiated by early settlers in the nascent New Netherland colony.

    Abstract This timely volume offers a compilation of twenty-four articles covering a wide spectrum of topics in Iroquoian archaeology. Culled from leading publications, the pieces collectively represent the current state of knowledge and research in the field. A comprehensive research bibliography with more than 500 entries will be a key resource for specialists and non-specialists alike. Both text and bibliography are structured in five sections: Origins; Precolumbian Dynamics; Postcolumbian Dynamics; Material Culture Studies; and Contemporary Iroquois Perspectives, Repatriation, and Collaborative Archaeology. Along with seminal essays by major figures in regional archaeology, the book includes responses by Haudenosaunee writers to the political context of contemporary archaeological work. This collection will prove indispensable to scholars in all areas of Iroquois studies, students and teachers of Iroquoian archaeology, and professional and avocational archaeologists in the United States and Canada.

  • "As is His Right," Seventeenth-century Scandinavian Colonists as Agents of Empire in the Delaware Valley
    Item Type Thesis
    Author Laurie Fitzpatrick
    Abstract This paper seeks to understand how the Seventeenth-century Lenape Indians were pushed off their Delaware River land by Europeans, starting with the so-called good colonists: the Swedes and Finns. From the time of earliest Lenape and European contact in the 1630’s through mid-century, the Lenape held power in their homeland, Lenapewhittuck, along the Delaware River. By 1700, English colonizers had succeeded in removing many Lenape from this area. A closer examination of this period reveals how the Swedes and Finns of New Sweden who in some current historiographies are promoted as ‘good colonizers,’ were anything but as they acted in their own self-interest through their focus on daily survival and individual land acquisition around the Delaware River. Their presence created conditions that attracted increased numbers of European colonizers to the area, and these colonizers through the creation of a market in land pushed the Lenape away from their homeland. Recent historiography has revealed how the Seventeenth-century Lenape Indians were a powerful group who controlled their land. By understanding the Lenape in this way, Swedish and Dutch accounts of Indian and European violence and peacemaking coalesce to reveal Lenape power in the region. ‘Seeing’ Lenape power reveals how the creation of a European land market along the Delaware was key in tipping this balance in power that ensured Lenape departure. Swedish and Finnish possession of the area, when combined with the ability to securely own the land one farmed and pass that land to heirs, invited increasing numbers of settler colonists into the area. Translated land treaties made between the Lenape, the Dutch, and the Swedes and later English land survey deeds provide evidence of the establishment of a market in land along the Delaware River. Court records from the 1650’s recorded land transactions that demonstrate the incursion of individual European settler colonists through a newly established economic condition: individual land ownership. As more Europeans entered the area to possess land through their understanding of land use, these individual settler colonists challenged former Lenape land ‘sale’ treaty terms that had included the condition of shared usufruct rights. Overtime, this understanding changed as European land owners grew to regard their possession of land as ownership, to the exclusion of other Europeans and the Lenape.

  • Aspects of Continuity and Change in Colonial Dutch Material Culture at Fort Orange, 1624-1664
    Item Type Thesis
    Author Paul Robert Huey
    Abstract Fort Orange, built by the Dutch West India Company in 1624, was the center of a prosperous agricultural region and focal point of Dutch trade and contact with the Indians until the English took New Netherland in 1664. In 1676 the English abandoned Fort Orange to build a new fort elsewhere; after 1790, the city of Albany, N.Y., expanded over the site, covering and partially destroying the archeological evidence of Fort Orange during subsequent urban development. Remains of a part of the site were uncovered and carefully recorded during a five-month rescue excavation project in 1970 and 1971 preceding new highway construction. This work produced clearly documented 17th century Dutch cultural material from before 1664 in New Netherland for study, quantitative analysis, and comparison with material excavated from other 17th century aboriginal and European sites. Research questions focus on the transplantation and adaptation of Dutch material culture to New Netherland and the extent of its influence in other cultures. The excavation provided information on the size of the fort and dimensions of features within, use of the south moat as a tavern dump, changing diet of fort occupants, methods of construction of houses, types of furnishings and diversity of material culture, continuing function of the site as a crossroads for trade since prehistoric times, and changing trade relationships between Fort Orange, other sites in North America, and sites across the Atlantic. Isolated 150 miles from New Amsterdam (New York City) and the Atlantic Ocean, far up a tidal river which froze solid in the winter, the Dutch at Fort Orange by 1664 nevertheless had established a highly Europeanized material culture comparable in its completeness to that of the fatherland in the 17th century Dutch "Golden Age." When the English took New Netherland, they acquired a colony that was no mere frontier outpost but which embodied a material culture almost as fully as sophisticated as that of the villages and farms of the mid-17th century Netherlands. It is from this basis that the phenomenon of Anglo-Dutch acculturation in New York after 1664 must be studied.

  • Aspects of New-York Dutch Trade Under the English, 1670–1674
    Item Type Journal Article
    Author Jan Kupp
    Abstract The English conquest of New Netherland in 1664 did not end trade between that colony and Holland. War broke out between the Dutch republic and England and France in 1672, but commerce, particularly the Albany fur trade, was not seriously interrupted. Therefore, revision apparently is in order for historians' previous conclusion that the Iroquois were forced to trade with the French in Montreal rather than the Dutch in Albany after 1672.

  • Assessing American Indian-Dutch Studies: Missed and Missing Opportunities
    Item Type Journal Article
    Author William A. Starna
    Abstract Reviews the contributions of several articles and book-length works on Indian-Dutch relations produced after Allen Trelease's 1960 classic 'Indian Affairs in Colonial New York: The Seventeenth Century' in order to determine how these post-Treleasian works might have revised and augmented his original record. Of particular interest in this investigation were findings related to the fur trade, Dutch dependence on the natives, interactions between Indian polities and European nation-states, the impact of Dutch and English New Netherland settlements on Indian populations, and Indian responses to evolving Dutch political policies and strategies. The few additions to the history of Indian-Dutch relations originally introduced by Trelease only infrequently resulted in original or particularly informative thought.

  • Atlantic Virginia: Intercolonial Relations in the Seventeenth Century
    Item Type Book
    Author April Lee Hatfield
    Abstract Through networks of trails and rivers inland and established ocean routes across the seas, seventeenth-century Virginians were connected to a vibrant Atlantic world. They routinely traded with adjacent Native Americans and received ships from England, the Netherlands, and other English and Dutch colonies, while maintaining less direct connections to Africa and to French and Spanish colonies. Their Atlantic world emerged from the movement of goods and services, but trade routes quickly became equally important in the transfer of people and information.Much seventeenth-century historiography, however, still assumes that each North American colony operated as a largely self-contained entity and interacted with other colonies only indirectly, through London. By contrast, in Atlantic Virginia, historian April Lee Hatfield demonstrates that the colonies actually had vibrant interchange with each other and with peoples throughout the hemisphere, as well as with Europeans.

  • Babel on the Hudson: Community Formation in Dutch Manhattan
    Item Type Thesis
    Author Karen Sivertsen
    Abstract This dissertation focuses on New Amsterdam, the small port town at the tip of Manhattan Island that became the capital for the Dutch colony of New Netherland. It addresses two of the most entrenched stereotypes regarding New Netherland. One is the popular notion that religion never played an important role in New Netherland, since the colony was built upon commerce and economic considerations. The other is that community life and consciousness was stymied in Manhattan until New Netherland became an English colony. At the root of both stereotypes is the accepted perception that an intense and selfish drive for wealth, financial remuneration and self-advancement was the modus vivendi of New Netherland's settlers and colonial officials. Consequently, they neither gave much thought to religion nor took time to foster a shared sense of community. The central aim of this dissertation is to demonstrate that Dutch Manhattan did develop a dynamic community life. It resulted from the difficulties encountered by both Europeans and Africans in trying to reconstruct in the New World aspects of societies they had left behind, and from the interactions of members of the Atlantic's three racial groups in Dutch Manhattan. The other important aim is to demonstrate the role religion played in the community and in community formation by discussing how religion was utilized to determine one's fitness for community membership and as a tool of colonization. Religion played a key role in the formation of alliances both within and outside the colony, and groups created spaces within the society for individuals to maintain and nurture practices that were not sanctioned by the larger community. This dissertation demonstrates that while the colony had its genesis as a trading venture, religiously infused ideas were at play during the early contact period prior to settlement. Furthermore, once the decision for permanent settlement was made, religion and religious considerations played a prominent role in the internal contestations for control and figured prominently in the process of community formation. Aside from religion, this dissertation also explores the role of trade, contestations for control both within and outside the colony, and war in shaping and redefining the contours of community in Dutch Manhattan.

  • Before the Melting Pot: Society and Culture in Colonial New York City, 1664-1730
    Item Type Book
    Author Joyce D. Goodfriend
    Abstract From its earliest days under English rule, New York City had an unusually diverse ethnic makeup, with substantial numbers of Dutch, English, Scottish, Irish, French, German, and Jewish immigrants, as well as a large African-American population. Joyce Goodfriend paints a vivid portrait of this society, exploring the meaning of ethnicity in early America and showing how colonial settlers of varying backgrounds worked out a basis for coexistence. She argues that, contrary to the prevalent notion of rapid Anglicization, ethnicity proved an enduring force in this small urban society well into the eighteenth century.

  • Between Heaven and Earth: Church and Society in Pre-Revolutionary Flatbush, Long Island
    Item Type Thesis
    Author Willem Frederick (Eric) Nooter
    Abstract This case-study about seventeenth- and eighteenth-century Flatbush, a rural community on Long Island east of New York City, shows, that a transatlantic approach to Colonial Dutch studies is indispensable for a good understanding of the influence of Dutch culture in this part of the world. This dissertation also makes clear, that focusing too narrowly on New York City history runs the risk of overestimating English influences on areas populated by Dutch settlers in the northeastern part of America. New research concentrating on Flatbush, Long Island, strongly suggests that under English rule after 1664 the role of the Dutch Reformed church in village life increased rather than decreased. It appears that especially the church's ritual, educational, and social welfare services functioned to shield Flatbush's inhabitants from possible English influence. Eventually Flatbush and other Dutch towns would start to Americanize, but on Long Island that process did not begin much before the nineteenth century. The dissertation is divided in two parts, each with three chapters. The first part provides the historical framework. The second part, which is more thematically arranged, fleshes out the main thesis, followed by a conclusion. The fourth chapter studies the ritual services offered by the Dutch Reformed church to Flatbush inhabitants surrounding birth, marriage, and death. It also discusses the role of Communion and church discipline and examines the impact of church and consistory membership on Flatbush society at large. Chapter Five discusses the range of educational services provided by the church to parents with small children, school-age youngsters, adults ready to become full church members and regular churchgoers, while assessing texts introduced and teachings offered by dominies and schoolmasters. Chapter Six examines the nature and scope of the church's charity and relief operations. It also attempts to find the objectives envisioned by the church council and who the aid recipients were. The various sources of income are being reviewed and the impact of social welfare services on colonial Flatbush are measured.

    Item Type Book
    Author Daniel K. Richter
    Author James Hart Merrell
    Abstract For centuries the Western view of the Iroquois was clouded by the myth that they were the supermen of the frontier—"the Romans of this Western World," as De Witt Clinton called them in 1811. Only in recent years have scholars come to realize the extent to which Europeans had exaggerated the power of the Iroquois. Beyond the Covenant Chain was one of the first studies to acknowledge fully that the Iroquois never had an empire. It remains the best study of diplomatic and military relations among Native American groups in seventeenth- and eighteenth-century North America.

  • Born to Run: The Slave Family in Early New York, 1626 to 1827
    Item Type Thesis
    Author Vivienne L. Kruger
    Abstract Most slave family scholarship concerns southern bondsmen on large plantations in the nineteenth century and ignores northern and colonial free blacks and slaves. This study of slave families in the southern six counties of New York covers an earlier era in which many blacks were African immigrants or first or second generation Afro-Americans. The central feature of New York and northern slavery was that most slaveholdings were small and contained only from one to five slaves. Because of the small size of the holdings, slave family members were usually owned by separate masters and forced to live apart. This study breaks new ground in the location and use of manuscript and primary sources appropriate to the study of slavery and the slave family in small northern holdings. Hard, mass quantitative data on thousands of slaves was compiled from censuses, church records, wills, estate inventories, bills of sale, runaway slave advertisements, laws, town records, manumission documents, registers of the births of slave children, overseer of the poor rolls and state comptroller's records for the support of abandoned slave infants, and ship registers of blacks evacuated with the British in 1783. Slavery created artificial black demographic conditions in New York: a small overall black population, low black population density, unbalanced adult sex ratios, and a random rather than familial distribution of slaves into white households. A distinctive Afro-American life cycle developed under these circumstances of enslavement. New York slaves experienced childhood, marriage, parenthood, and old age in ways that were radically different from free blacks or whites. Although the slave family was unable to live together, to act as an economic unit, or to provide love, care, help, and protection to its members on a regular basis, family love and connectedness often survived among separated spouses, parents, and children--who sometimes took difficult and drastic action to be reunited. In contrast to sudden, total emancipation in the South, New York slaves were freed voluntarily and gradually between 1785 and 1848. Separate ownership guaranteed separate manumission of relatives and severe family disruption as husbands, wives, and children were freed individually, often many years apart. Some freedmen were successful in establishing their own households and found independent employment but many remained as dependent workers in white households--still separated from their families--during the black population's difficult transition to full autonomy.

  • Bound by Bondage: Slavery Among Elites in Colonial Massachusetts and New York
    Item Type Thesis
    Author Nicole Saffold Maskiell
    Abstract This study compares the ways that slavery shaped the elite cultures of colonial Massachusetts and New York by examining the social and kinship networks that intertwined enslavers with those they enslaved. It is anchored around three main family groups: the Stuyvesants, Bayards, and Livingstons. Although most works concerning these families remain largely rooted in colonial New York, this study seeks to follow these families’ wider diasporic networks, especially their connections to the elites of colonial Massachusetts. As such, this dissertation is comparative as well as Atlantic in focus. The comparative aspect flows out of its central focus on elite families and thus necessitates the shedding of modern boundary lines between colonies, allowing the porous nature of elite slave contacts to emerge and resurrecting a very different early modern landscape. Instead of focusing on the small individual slaveholdings of most northern elites, it highlights slaveholding across family units, which offers a more comprehensive view of the cultural impact of slavery. Even as slavery disrupted the personal and family lives of enslaved Africans and Indians, it created a common slave culture and knit together Dutch merchant families with New England's ministerial elite, cementing Atlantic alliances that crossed contested colonial lines. Although this project is racial and gendered at its heart, it seeks to question the “natural communities” that have been constructed in scholarly works. Thus, instead of solely excavating the lives of the enslaved, it emphasizes the effects that their lives had on the worldview of those who held them in bondage. Rather than addressing the experiences of enslaved African and Indians separately, it analyzes them as overlapping experiences. It examines the development of a mistress culture among elite northern women and revises the prevailing scholarly image of the overwhelmed Northern goodwife, whose husband bequeathed her a large number of enslaved men and women. It explores the ways in which the religious experience of elite families was interconnected and profoundly shaped by the culture of slavery and the development of systems of reciprocity and gift exchange between elites based on slavery.

    Author Mark Meuwese
    Abstract Recent studies on Dutch encounters with indigenous peoples in the Americas and West Africa have taken a narrow regional approach rather than a comparative Atlantic perspective. This book, based on Dutch archival records and primary and secondary sources in multiple languages, integrates indigenous peoples more fully in the Dutch Atlantic by examining the development of formal relations between the Dutch and non-Europeans in Brazil, the Gold Coast, West Central Africa, and New Netherland from the first Dutch overseas voyages in the 1590s until the dissolution of the West India Company in 1674. By taking an Atlantic perspective this study of Dutch-indigenous alliances shows that the support and cooperation of indigenous peoples was central to Dutch overseas expansion in the Atlantic.

  • Building New Netherland: Gender and Family Ties in a Frontier Society
    Item Type Thesis
    Author Susan Elizabeth Shaw
    Abstract This project analyzes family bonds in the early Dutch settlements in New York as a means to explore gender roles in the Atlantic World. Based on an examination of Dutch-language documents on both sides of the Atlantic, I argue that women's extensive economic participation arose not from a privileged legal position but rather from the centrality of family cooperation to transatlantic trade. In effect, families were transatlantic institutions. The importance of family gave Dutch women critical economic roles not only within transatlantic trade, but also within the transfrontier trade in beaver skins. Africans and Native Americans who participated in the beaver-skin economy similarly counted upon the cooperation of families and the activities of women; by investigating the relationship between gender and race in the fur trade, I attempt to mirror the diversity of colonial America in my writing. I argue that gender roles and women's participation shaped the nature of cross-cultural relations and defined the workings of the frontier economy. “Building New Netherland” represents an attempt to unite the search for the “gender frontier” in colonial America with the need to set colonies within a broader Atlantic context. Historians of the British colonies have done an excellent job of exploring the meaning of gender and family within the immigrant English community, but the relationship between family and the broader context of transatlantic and transfrontier life remains largely unexplored. The example of the Dutch can be used to provide a fresh angle for research on the British colonies.

    Item Type Journal Article
    Author Joyce D. Goodfriend
    Abstract The development of a slave population in New Netherland was prompted by the Dutch West India Company to deal with the perpetual problem of underpopulation in the Dutch settlements, and to assure prosperity by increasing agricultural production. At first slavery in New Netherland was institutionalized on a corporate basis, an unusual case in American colonial experience. By 1664, as the result of company practices, slavery had become a widespread mode of labor exploitation among the settlers in the colony. 4 illus., 44 notes.

  • Calvinism and Religious Toleration in the Dutch Golden Age
    Item Type Book

    Editor Henk Van Nierop
    Abstract Dutch society has enjoyed a reputation, or notoriety, for permissiveness since the sixteenth century. The Dutch Republic in the Golden Age was the only society that tolerated religious dissenters of all persuasions in early modern Europe. Paradoxically, it was committed to a strictly Calvinist public Church and also to the preservation of religious plurality. R. Po-chia Hsia and Henk van Nierop have brought together a group of leading historians from the U.K., the U.S. and the Netherlands. Their outstanding essays probe the history and myth of Dutch religious toleration.

  • Clergy, Lay Leaders, and the People: An Analysis of "Faith and Works" in Albany and Boston, 1630-1750
    Item Type Thesis
    Author George Kennedy McFarland
    Abstract This dissertation is a comparative study of the relationship between the clerical and lay leaders and of their varying influences on the people of the Reformed churches in Albany and Boston over a 120 year period. These two colonial towns were first settled within a few years of each other and were little more than a hundred and fifty miles apart, yet they developed in relative isolation from each other. Having shared similar theological beliefs in their European homelands, Dutch and Puritan leaders stressed the covenantal ideal to love God and serve man. Over the years these two guidelines were instrumental in the motivation and development of both settlements. However, the degree to which these were implemented in the two societies differed in part as a result of the changing social roles played by clergy and lay leaders. Evolving political and economic factors likewise influenced the direction of these religious communities. By 1690 Puritan ministers were adopting more practical theology, and in both churches lay functions became more visible by the end of the seventeenth century. With the growing heterogeneity of the towns, the churches found their influences constricted and their roles vis-a-vis the people changing. The minister's social and civil role was far more influential in early Boston than in early Albany, and ecclesiologically Boston clergy were independent of ties to the mother country. The Dutch domines owed their allegiance to the Classis in The Netherlands and throughout the period sought to retain Dutch cultural and religious ways. As the churches ceased to be coterminous with the towns, the ways in which faith related to works were expressed in changing modes. The involvement of the churches with those outside the congregations took on new dimensions, though the manner in which this happened reflected the differing structures of the communities. The growth of Pietist teaching in the early years of the eighteenth century reintroduced earlier Puritan ideals and revealed the changes which had been taking place in the communities. Again the towns differed in the relative impact of these ideas on clergy and lay leaders. As the century proceeded, the Great Awakening highlighted the necessity for increased involvement of the lay leaders to care for those outside the churches as well as those inside the churches. By the middle of the eighteenth century the churches in both towns saw themselves as orthodox religious communities, but they still differed because of the roles played for 120 years by those within.

  • Cloth Seals at Iroquois Sites
    Item Type Journal Article
    Author Jan M. Baart
    Abstract Textiles represent a very significant component of the Dutch goods that were exported to New Netherland for trade with the Iroquois Indians. These textiles varied greatly in quality. These differences were indicated on lead cloth seals that were affixed to the cloths. The lead cloth seals that are excavated at Iroquois sites provide useful information about the origins and quality of the traded cloth. They also are a source of information about Dutch textile manufacture in the 17th century, a period during which the cloth industry was the most important urban industry in the Netherlands. A catalog of the lead cloth seals found at Iroquois and Dutch sites in New Netherland reveals that between 1630 and 1670, four Dutch cities were represented: Kampen, Leiden, Haarlem, and Amsterdam. Based on the excavated cloth seals, it can be concluded that most of the cloth for trade with the Iroquois came from Kampen.

  • Collision on the Hudson: Identity, Migration, and the Improvement of Albany, New York, 1750–1830
    Item Type Thesis
    Author Elizabeth M. Covart
    Abstract Between 1750 and 1830, British North Americans profoundly altered their British self-understandings to accommodate their new, political allegiance to the United States. This dissertation seeks to understand how and why British colonists became Americans by examining the people of Albany, New York from 1750 to 1830. Albany offers the perfect lens for viewing North American identity creation and adaptation because like many Americans, the Albanyans first had to shift from their original self-understandings as non-Britons to Britons and then from Britons to Americans. Moreover, Albany's riparian geography placed the city and its people at the center of the French and Indian War, the Revolution, the War for Independence, the post-Revolution New England migration, and the Market Revolution, all of which introduced great change to North Americans' identity. This dissertation contends that the people of Albany experienced three dramatic shifts in their self-understandings between 1664 and 1830, during which time they created first Dutch, then British, and finally American identities. In contrast to much scholarship on Dutch-descended New Yorkers, this work focuses on how Albany's frontier residents constructed British cultural connections and how their interactions with Britons challenged their perceived British identity during the French and Indian War (1754–1763) and American Revolution (1765–1775). Many Albanyans embraced the War for Independence (1775–1783) only after they failed to find a place as equal subjects within the British Empire. Also, the investigation illustrates how the post-war New England migration affected the Albanyans' adaptation of their former British self-understandings to accommodate their new political allegiance to the United States. This dissertation reexamines old sources and introduces new evidence, such as the correspondences of the Earl of Loudoun, Thomas Gage, and Albany's municipal records, to show that the Albanyans never represented an isolated enclave of "authentic" Dutch people, nor did they let the New England migrants dictate the terms of their new American culture during the Early Republic. Instead, the Albanyans actively participated in the process of North American identity creation and adaptation.

  • Commerce and Community: Manhattan Merchants in the Seventeenth Century
    Item Type Thesis
    Author Dennis Joseph Maika
    Abstract In seventeenth-century Manhattan, commerce and community were interdependent and reinforcing. This study, focusing on the formative years of development in Manhattan from 1640 to 1689, describes how the quest for profit manifested itself in that Dutch and English society, and how commerce encouraged the growth of community relationships. Immediately after the Dutch West India Company abandoned its fur trading monopoly in 1639, merchant entrepreneurs flocked to New Netherland. Among these were the founders of the city of New Amsterdam. Relying primarily on Dutch investment capital, Manhattan merchants actively developed a lively export trade in Chesapeake tobacco and New Netherland furs. Their aggressive commercial behavior contributed to the city's growth in spite of changes in provincial jurisdiction in 1664, 1673, and 1674. The merchants depended on the model of Dutch municipal government to provide community order and stability. After securing their first municipal charter in 1653, Manhattan's merchants adapted old or invented new institutions that clearly articulated the commercial orientation of their community. Citizenship requirements protected their trade from outside threats; their credit system relied on written debt agreements and adjudication in the municipal court; local quality and quantity controls insured the marketability of exports; a system of officeholding insured leadership for the merchant elite. Manhattan commerce continued to grow after 1674. A mingling of overseas capital investment from Dutch and English sources coincided with new commercial opportunities, most notably the trade in foodstuffs with the West Indies. The business connections formed during this period suggest that market considerations were a more powerful incentive to trade relationships than were traditional ties of nation or ethnicity. From 1674 until 1689, Manhattan's commercial community grew. As the merchants expanded into new markets and the city's population increased, the city government continued to provide a strong foundation for merchant interest. Municipal institutions reflected the blend of Dutch and English overseas capital that supported its economic prosperity. With the Dongan Charter of 1686, the merchant community was well established and poised for an economic take-off in the eighteenth century.

  • Company Management or Private Trade: The Two Patroonship Plans for New Netherland
    Item Type Journal Article
    Author Oliver A. Rink
    Abstract Analyzes a recently discovered copy of the New Netherland patroonship plan of 1628 and the revised "Freedoms and Exceptions" adopted by the West India Company in 1629. What historians thought was a conflict between democracy and aristocracy in New Netherland was actually a struggle between patroons and company administration over questions of land and trade. The intent of the 1628 plan was to modify the company's trade monopoly so that private enterprise could bear the expense of the colony's settlement, and the 1629 plan gave the patroons greater privileges of trade and settlement. The patroons' victory came too late, however, as private merchants in Amsterdam successfully exploited the colony's trade.

    Abstract "The role of proprietorships, or private colonies in imperial development, has not received the attention it deserves, notwithstanding recent scholarly emphasis on 'state-building'. The continued use of these 'private' devices, even as early modern European nation-states grew more potent, is not only interesting, but is indeed normative though invariably missing from modern studies of empire. This collection provides in-depth analyses of the workings of the proprietorships themselves (rather than proprietary colonies) and in studies ranging from South Carolina to Nieuw Nederland to French West Africa to Brasil, broadens this discussion beyond British North America."--Jacket.

    Abstract The 2009 quadricentennial celebrations commemorating the discovery of the Hudson River by Henry Hudson will also spotlight one of our deepest and most enduring national legaciesthe Dutch presence that has shaped not just the Hudson Valley but four centuries of American life. This lavishly illustrated book, a companion to the exhibition opening in June 2009 at the Hudson River Museum, takes needed stock of the remarkable past created by the settlers of New Netherlands. Although the Dutch controlled the Hudson Valley only until ceding it to the British in 1664, the Dutch established the towns and cities that today define the regionfrom New Amsterdam upriver to Fort Orange, todays Albany. The Dutch heritage lives on, not only in historic estates or Dutch-named places like the Bronx or Yonkers but also in commerce, law, politics, religion, art, and culture. In thirteen original essays, this book traverses those four centuries to enrich and expand our understanding of Americas origins. The essays, written by a superb team of distinguished scholars, are grouped into five chronological frames1609, 1709, 1809, 1909, and 2009each marking a key point in the history of the Dutch in the valley. The topics range widely, from patterns of settlement and the Dutch encounter with slavery and Native America to Dutch influences in everything from architecture and religion to material culture, language, and literature. Based on fresh research, this book is at once a fascinating introduction to a remarkable past and a much-needed new look at the Dutch role in the region, in the story of Americas origins, and in creating the habits, styles, and practices identified as quintessentially New Yorks.

  • Cookies, Coleslaw, and Stoops: The Influence of Dutch on the North American Languages
    Item Type Book
    Author Nicoline Van der Sijs
    Abstract From Santa Claus (after the Dutch folklore saint Sinterklaas) and his sleigh (the pronunciation of the Dutch slee is almost identical) to a dumbhead talking poppycock, the contributions of the Dutch language to American English are indelibly embedded to some of our most vernacular terms and expressions. In Cookies, Coleslaw and Stoops, the renowned linguist Nicoline van der Sijs glosses over 300 Dutch loan words like these that travelled to the New World on board the Henry Hudson’s ship the Halve Maan, which dropped anchor in Manhattan more than 400 years ago.Lively and accessible, the information presented in this volume charts the journey of these words into the American territory and languages, from more obscure uses which maybe have survived in only regional dialects to such ubiquitous contributions to our language like Yankee, cookie, and dope. Each entry marks the original arrival of its term into American English and adds up-do-date information on its evolving meaning, etymology, and regional spread. Not to be missed by anyone with a passion for the history behind our everyday expressions,this charming volume is the perfect gift for the linguistic adventurer in us all.

    Item Type Journal Article
    Author Morton Wagman
    Abstract The Dutch West India Company was the largest single slave owner in New Netherland and developed a form of corporate slavery that was unique in North America. During 1624-64, the company's black slaves were treated more as employees than slaves. The humane treatment of its slaves marks the company as unique among New World slave owners. Based on primary sources in the New York State Library; 35 notes.

  • Corporeal Expressions of Identity at Sylvester Manor, Shelter Island, New York, 1652-1735
    Item Type Thesis
    Author Elise Nadia Kline
    Abstract The study of colonial American plantations and the lives of the people that occupied these places is overwhelmingly based upon data collected from sites in the southern and mid-Atlantic states. For many people, the concept of the American plantation evokes cotton plantations in Virginia or sugar cane plantations in Louisiana. Popular culture focuses almost exclusively on the southern states in its depictions of plantation life. However, during the early colonial era and beyond, plantations dotted the north in states including Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New Jersey, and New York. A paucity of information regarding these northern plantations has resulted in an incomplete understanding of the daily lives of the individuals who existed within this social and economic hierarchy. This thesis aims to bolster our understanding of these plantations by examining the personal adornment artifacts from Sylvester Manor, a 17 th-century provisioning plantation in Shelter Island, New York between the years 1652 and 1735. By focusing on artifacts of dress and adornment, I consider the impact of living in a culturally pluralistic setting on identity and the outward of expression of it. By drawing on a variety of social theory and cultural material studies, I provide a critical examination of these artifacts, including those exhibiting several distinct cultural characteristics, and explore their significance in terms of cross-cultural exchange of values and their physical embodiment. The data in this thesis show that most items of personal adornment within the assemblage were of European manufacture. However, evidence of a certain level of agency is visible in the alteration or re-working of certain artifacts exhibiting symbolic or stylistic elements of Afro-Caribbean or Native American cultures. Additionally, class and gender distinctions are visible in the personal adornment assemblage, providing insight into the importance of dress in distinguishing oneself by status in an environment occupied by members of several different classes and cultural groups.

  • Cosmopolitanism and Adriaen van der Donck's A Description of New Netherland
    Item Type Journal Article
    Author John Easterbrook
    Abstract In lieu of an abstract, here is a brief excerpt of the content: Cosmopolitanism and Adriaen van der Donck's A Description of New Netherland John Easterbrook (bio) In 1655, Adriaen van der Donck published his promotional tract A Description of New Netherland in an attempt to attract settlers to the Dutch colony in North America. As its title suggests, Van der Donck's text is primarily a description of the land, resources, and opportunities that await potential colonists in New Netherland. For seventeenth-century readers, transatlantic emigration was an enterprise fraught with potential complications, not the least of which was the stability of national identity in an alien environment. To convince his readers that the environment on the other side of the Atlantic was suitable for Dutch settlers, Van der Donck devoted the first section of his tract to a discussion of New Netherland's landscape, flora, fauna, and climate. In a chapter titled "Of the Air," Van der Donck writes that "[t]he gentle governess of mind, strength, and form alike in humans, animals, and plants is the air, also termed the temperament or climate" (2008 ed., 64). Van der Donck here suggests the importance of climate as it relates to the problem of cultural assimilation and geographic movement. Seventeenth-century understandings of the relationship between identity and travel were based on the Galenic theory of the four humors, which held that the early modern body was subject to the influence of one's environment.1 Travel in the seventeenth century thus brought with it the potential for dramatic alterations in an individual's psychology and physiology. Van der Donck invokes this early modern scientific discourse in the opening lines of his chapter, only to assuage any fears of alteration when he writes that the air in the colony "is as dry, pure, and wholesome as could be desired"—so much so, in fact, that "people who are not at their best, whether in the West Indies, Virginia, or other parts of the world, soon feel fit as a fiddle when they come to New Netherland" [End Page 3] (64). "In short," he writes, "Galen has a lean time of it there" (64). The Description thus takes up the identity issues that accompany geographic movement in the seventeenth century, specifically the fear of physical and cultural assimilation brought about by travel, only to assuage those doubts and set up the colony of New Netherland as a geographic or climatological extension of the United Provinces. While this rhetorical strategy is not uncommon in colonial promotional literature,2 I suggest that what makes Van der Donck's text unique is the way in which it struggles with the possibility of a cosmopolitan model of colonization that embraces circulation and difference, working within the humoral model to suggest the possibility of maintaining Dutch cultural identity despite travel and dislocation. The text experiments with a model of belonging that relies not on birth within the territorial borders of the Dutch Republic, but rather on residence in either the United Provinces or its colonies.3 Van der Donck, I argue, is thus able to transform the multiplicity of peoples emigrating to the United Provinces and its colonial holdings into a manageable and productive population that would secure Dutch interests within the European world economy.4 Even as the text encourages a sense of identity grounded in geography, however, it must reassure its specifically Dutch readers of the stability of Dutch cultural and national identity in the New World through its emphasis on the economic integration of emigrant workers into the Dutch colonial project.5 This tension in the text between embracing a diverse, mobile labor force and securing a stable Dutch identity, I argue, suggests the ways in which the Description imagines the economic and political security of Dutch nationalism as dependent on a population that must be constructed out of the cultural contacts and connections of the Dutch colonial project in the Americas. This tension in the text mirrors the ambivalence toward cosmopolitanism that we see on the ground, as new and more restrictive residency requirements were instituted in New Amsterdam in 1657. Rather than reading the text as simply another hyperbolic attempt at promoting settlement, then, we might consider the Description as attempting to...

    Abstract Collecting evidence from Dutch notarial archives, the author originated research regarding the influence of the commercial interests of the Dutch Republic on the economy of Canada during the 17th century. Basing this article on his previous findings, on statements of contemporary French economists and merchants, and on recent publications of Dutch and French economic historians regarding the Dutch and French economy during the 18th century, the author discusses the probability of an extension of this Dutch commercial or financial influence on the Canadian economy into the first half of the 18th century. Indicates in what manner others may contribute toward reaching a conclusion.

  • Creating an Orderly Society: The Regulation of Marriage and Sex in the Dutch Atlantic World, 1621–1674
    Item Type Thesis
    Author Deborah Hamer
    Abstract Historians have long connected the emergence of the early modern state with increased efforts to discipline populations. Allying with religious authorities to monitor private lives, states sought to limit sexual activity to marriage and to support patriarchal authority in order to create orderly societies and obedient subjects. Governments legitimated their increased intrusions into people’s lives by arguing that it was their responsibility to bring about moral reformation in their subjects, but their new interest was also rooted in achieving more direct control over individuals for the purposes of preventing crime and disorder, rationalizing tax collection, eliminating legal pluralities, and inculcating military discipline. This dissertation argues that the same motives that informed the policies of emerging states in this period lay at the heart of the Dutch West India Company’s marriage regulation during its brief existence from 1621 to 1674. Company representatives sought to institute and enforce strict marriage discipline upon their colonists, soldiers, sailors, conquered subjects, and indigenous allies in order to transform them into proper subjects and to extend Company governance over vast, new territories. Like the centralizing states of the early modern period that justified their increased power by arguing that they were reforming their subjects, the West India Company responded to potential critics of their state-like power and their sovereign authority with the same rationale. Company efforts to regulate marriage and sex were, however, challenged by the existence of overlapping jurisdictions emerging both from the Dutch Republic’s own tradition of legal plurality and from the existing institutions of conquered European populations and indigenous allies. Whereas emerging absolutist states were able to either gain the cooperation of or eliminate institutions with competing claims to authority, examining the conflicts over marriage regulation in the Dutch colonies shows that the West India Company failed in its efforts to tame competing institutions and bring them under its authority. Looking at the Company’s governance through the lens of its marriage and sex regulation, therefore, upends traditional understandings of the Company as a trading enterprise and suggests that its directors were engaged in the process of state formation. It also suggests a novel way to understand the Company’s repeated setbacks and ultimate failure in 1674. Despite its claims to absolute authority and its efforts to negotiate and secure this authority, competing institutions never acquiesced to Company jurisdiction.

  • Creating Borderlands Authorities: The Albany Commissioners for Indian Affairs and the Iroquois Nations, 1691-1755
    Item Type Thesis
    Author Andrew T. Stahlhut
    Abstract This dissertation explores how Albany’s Commissioners for Indian Affairs and the neighboring Iroquois Nations created and preserved authorities in the New York/Iroquoia borderlands from the 1690s through the early 1750s, and analyzes how the effects of this local relationship rippled outwards to influence the indigenous and colonial world of northeastern North America. Albany’s Commissioners, provincial agents at the forefront of much of the British Empire’s Indian diplomacy for this time period, maintained a roster of mostly Dutch colonists despite its existence as a colonial office in a British colony. This tight web of intermarried Dutch settlers and traders sustained a continuous conversation with the Iroquois Nations for half a century, relying upon a shared borderlands diplomatic culture to maintain decorum despite regular friction over issues such as imperial expansion and trade. These self-created borderlands authorities established and maintained the New York/Iroquoia borderlands as a primary nexus for Indian diplomacy in northeastern North America and placed Dutch commissioners and Iroquoian leaders in important roles in issues affecting other British colonies, other Indian polities, and even broad imperial processes such as the continuous eighteenth century contest with New France. Largely ignored or glossed over by historians, Albany’s Indian Commissioners and their substantial records provide unique insight into understanding the European-Indian power relationships in northeastern North America during the first half of the eighteenth century. This dissertation provides the first sustained study of the Albany Commissioners as an institution of Indian diplomacy and unlocks new ways of understanding how the powerful Iroquois Nations interacted with broth provincial and imperial officials in the era between Dutch New Netherland and Indian Superintendent William Johnson in the mid-1750s, and fills out a significant, half-century gap in the colonial history of British North America.

  • Cultivating a Landscape of Peace: Iroquois-European Encounters in Seventeenth-Century America
    Item Type Book
    Author Matthew Dennis
    Abstract This book examines the peculiar new worlds of the Five Nations of the Iroquois, the Dutch, and the French, who shared cultural frontiers in seventeenth century North America. Matthew Dennis employs methods and materials from a range of disciplines, including archaeology, ethnology, folklore, literary criticism, and history, to reconstruct those worlds and analyze the consequences of their mingling with one another. Dennis likens his book to a cubist painting that describes and orders multiple elements on canvas but consciously avoids dissolving them into a single angle of vision. Viewing early America from the different perspectives of the diverse people who coexisted uneasily during the colonial encounter between Europeans and Indians, he explains a long-standing paradox: the apparent belligerence of the Five Nations, a people who saw themselves as promoters of universal peace. In a radically new interpretation of the Iroquois, Dennis argues that the Five Nations sought to incorporate their new European neighbors as kinspeople into their Longhouse, the physical and symbolic embodiment of Iroquois domesticity and peace. He offers a close, original reading of the fundamental political myth of the Five Nations, the Deganawidah Epic and situates it historically and ideologically in Iroquois life. Detailing the particular nature of Iroquois peace, he describes the Five Nations' diligent efforts to establish peace on their own terms and the frustrations and hostilities that stemmed from the fundamental contrast between Iroquois and European goals, expectations, and perceptions of human relationships.

  • Cultivating a Landscape of Peace: The Iroquois New World
    Item Type Thesis
    Author Matthew James Dennis
    Abstract This study re-assesses Iroquois behavior in the seventeenth century in terms of Iroquois culture and history and produces a more meaningful view of early America by integrating the radically different picture of the Five Nations that emerges into the framework of general American colonial history. Employing an ethnohistorical approach--informed by ethnology, archaeology, ecology, and especially folklore, in addition to history--my dissertation challenges the conventional view of the Iroquois as belligerent "imperialists." A reconstruction of the Iroquois world view shows that the Five Nations held peace as their highest, most sacred goal. Over a period of years, marked by the passing of sacred and profane time and the intervention of the great prophet Deganawidah, the "People of the Longhouse" had painstakingly constructed a fragile peace out of an earlier chaos that marred this world. With the advent of Europeans in North America, the Iroquois saw their natural and human ecology--the foundation of peace--shattered, and they found themselves embroiled in a long series of wars which seemed to violate their cultural ideals. My dissertation confronts this paradox: how a people so committed to peace nonetheless could earn the reputation--from the settlers of New France and British America as well as later historians--as the most bloodthirsty of savages, animated by a "homicidal frenzy" and an "insatiable rage for conquest." Viewing events from all sides of the cultural frontier--from Iroquoia, New Netherland, New France, and New York--my dissertation details the particular nature of Iroquois peace, the Five Nations' diligent efforts to establish peace on their own terms, and the frustrations and hostilities that stemmed from a fundamental contrast between Iroquois and European goals, expectations, and perceptions of human relationships. The Five Nations, by the end of the seventeenth century, had come to grips with their New World. The Covenant Chain that organized their relationships with the English (and, they hoped, the French) represented a new, European form of diplomacy--one based on autonomous nationhood rather than on kinship. By modifying their own visions, the Iroquois were able to live successfully in an altered, multicultural environment.

  • Cultivating Colonies: Tobacco and the Upstart Empires, 1580-1640
    Item Type Thesis
    Author Melissa N. Morris
    Abstract This dissertation addresses a fundamental question: how did the English, French, and Dutch establish successful colonies and trade routes in the Iberian-dominated Americas? It argues that the English, Dutch, and French (a group I refer to as the “Upstart Empires”) relied upon Iberian and indigenous knowledge and trade networks in a series of illicit commercial operations and failed colonies in South America and the Caribbean before they were able to establish themselves permanently in the Americas. These little-studied colonial experiments all had one thing in common: tobacco. A crop in high demand that grows nearly anywhere and requires little special equipment, tobacco was an obvious choice for new colonies. The Spanish Empire was founded on mineral extraction and the subjugation of extant empires. For other colonizers, the development of plantation economies was crucial. Cultivating Colonies looks at how this came to be. This dissertation relies upon a diverse source base, using Spanish, Dutch, French, and English archives to tell a story that transcends imperial boundaries. The dissertation begins by considering the intersection of botany and European expansion. It situates European voyages of discovery and colonization in the context of a search for plants and their products, including spices, and argues that early colonization efforts involved a close understanding of local environments. Tobacco was a plant Europeans encountered nearly everywhere they went in the Americas, but it was only a century after Columbus that smoking became fashionable in Europe. Thus, tobacco’s rise as a transatlantic commodity coincided with the Upstart Empires’ increased presence in the Americas. Spanish colonists and Africans learned how to grow and consume tobacco from indigenous peoples. Spanish colonies on the margins of empire began to produce it to trade with the English, Dutch, and French from the late sixteenth century. Through this trade, the Upstart Empires learned more about tobacco, and also about the environment and geography of places just beyond the reach of the Spanish and Portuguese. They began to establish trading posts and colonies in such places, and especially in the Guianas—a vast stretch of land between the limits of the two Iberian powers. There, Carib, Arawak, and other indigenous groups were willing to ally with small numbers of interlopers against their Spanish enemies. In these settlements, Northern Europeans participated in indigenous warfare and traded commodities in exchange for agricultural knowledge, labor, and goods. Even as the Upstarts established permanent colonies in North America and the Caribbean, they continued to settle in South America, too. Moreover, the Upstarts’ experiences in South America were crucial to the development of their colonies to the north. Colonies as diverse as St. Christopher, Virginia, and New Netherland all grew tobacco using methods and seeds from South America. In each settlement’s early years, the Upstarts were also reliant upon indigenous and African agricultural knowledge, an overlooked foundation of European colonization. Cultivating Colonies argues that the illicit tobacco trade and the short-lived colonies that sprang from it were crucial to the ultimate success of the English, Dutch, and French empires in the Americas.

  • Cultural Brokers and Intercultural Politics: New York-Iroquois Relations, 1664–1701
    Item Type Journal Article
    Author Daniel K. Richter
    Abstract Brokers" or "mediators" are individuals who participate competently in more than one culture and thus facilitate intercultural interaction. "With the aid of influential Euro-American and native American brokers, in the late 1670's and early 1680's, New York and the Five Nations forged an alliance that was the centerpiece of a broader set of diplomatic ties among English colonies and Indian peoples known in the language of native diplomacy as the `Covenant Chain.'" Colonial history and Iroquois history can only be understood in the context of the crucial role of cultural brokers in forging alliances between the native ethnic groups and New York on the one hand and New France on the other. The fate of world empires was bound up with settlement patterns and cultural policies developed in tiny American villages.

  • Cultural Mingling and Religious Diversity Among Indians and Europeans in the Early Middle Colonies
    Item Type Thesis
    Author James Homer Williams
    Abstract This work examines the contact of four large cultural groups--Indians, Dutch, Swedes, and English--during the first century of colonization in the middle Atlantic region, the most ethnically diverse area of colonial North America. It explores the meaning of that contact in terms of cultural change, with a particular emphasis on religion. Three case studies narrate the broad interaction between two culture groups--Indians and Dutch, Swedes and Dutch, English and Dutch--and assess the consequences of mingling, a process that included acculturation without a fundamental loss of cultural identity. Insights from ethnohistory, anthropology, and historical geography inform the analysis and are used to separate intercultural activity into phases and zones, within which different levels and types of change are identified and measured. Cultural mingling in New Netherland progressed with the Dutch at the center of activity and the other three groups toward the periphery. Indian and Dutch mingling proceeded through three phases: sporadic contact and cultural discovery; early colonization and sustained mingling; and intense interdependence, competition, and violence. By 1664 change was more profound for the Indians than for the Dutch. Interaction with Swedes occurred in two phases, before and after the capture of New Sweden by the Dutch in 1655. In the first period, Swedish officials protected their linguistic and religious heritage. After the conquest, the Dutch tolerated Swedish Lutheranism while oppressing Lutherans in New Netherland proper. Swedes challenged the logic of Reformed orthodoxy upon which the Dutch colony was founded. As New Englanders migrated into New Netherland after 1640, the Dutch were again forced to weigh religious orthodoxy against the apparent necessity of increased population and economic prosperity. Gradually, the Dutch conceded to English colonists more and more deviation from orthodoxy. This comparative examination of the Dutch experience challenges the notion that New Netherland's ethnic diversity produced a tolerant spirit that progressed under the English into the prototype of modern American ethnoreligious pluralism. Dutch toleration was limited and begrudgingly granted, a triumph of necessity over principle. The English would continue to wrestle with the challenges of ethnoreligious diversity and the Americanization of all groups in the middle colonies.

  • 'Damned Scoundrels' and 'Libertisme of Trade': Freedom and Regulation in Colonial New York's Fur and Grain Trades
    Item Type Journal Article
    Author Cathy Matson
    Abstract Discusses the development of internal exchange relations that brought farmers into long-distance commerce in colonial New York. As the fur trade declined, merchants looked for other commodities to trade. City merchants increasingly purchased agricultural and livestock surpluses and materials manufactured at homesteads. Merchants sought freedom to get their wares to foreign ports, but wanted government intervention to insure that products from within the colony went through New York City. Wartime and peace caused fluctuations in trade.

  • Death of a Notary: Conquest and Change in Colonial New York
    Item Type Book
    Author Donna Merwick
    Abstract ""He was the only one. He was the only man to have committed suicide in the town's seventeenth-century history." So begins Donna Merwick's tale of a Dutch notary who ended his life in his adopted community of Albany. In a major feat of historical reconstruction, she introduces us to Adriaen Janse van Ilpendam and the long-forgotten world he inhabited in Holland's North American colony." "Like so many of his fellow countrymen, Janse left his Dutch homeland as a young adult to try his luck in New Netherland. Merwick traces his journey to a new continent and re-creates the satisfying existence this respected burgher enjoyed with his wife in the bustling town. As a notary Janse was, in the author's words, "surrounded by stories, those he listened to and recorded, the hundreds he archived in a chest or trunk." His familiar life was turned upside down by the British conquest of the colony. Merwick recounts the changes brought about by the new rulers and imagines the despair Janse must have felt when English, a language he had never learned, replaced his native tongue in official transactions."--Jacket.

    Abstract Dutch immigrants in 17th-century New Netherland were ambivalent toward Native Americans, Africans, and other Europeans, and tended to judge others by their nationality and religious affiliation. Although problems did develop, the Dutch were on better terms with the groups they encountered than other Europeans in the New World at the time.

    Abstract Proto-colonial archaeology explores the physical origins of the world culture that evolved out of contacts made in the Age of Exploration, from Columbus to Cromwell.The early defended sites show how colonizing European first responded to the challenges of new environments and new peoples, and how their choices led to conquest, adaption, or failure. Fortifications, once necessary to protect the colonies, are now essential clues to understand their history. The first comparative study of proto-colonial fortifications, First Forts is a collectionof essays written by leading archaeologists in the field. Meeting the needs of archaeologists and historians around the globe, this book will also appeal to military enthusiasts, preservationists, and students of the Age of Exploration.

    Abstract This lavishly-illustrated volume provides an unprecedented look at twenty-eight houses (plus eleven barns and other structures) built in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries by Dutch colonists in the north-eastern United States, primarily in upstate New York and along the Hudson River Valley, on Long Island and Staten Island, and in New Jersey. An authoritative work-- written by eminent experts in the field-- Dutch Colonial Homes in America explores the homes in their broader social context by focusing on the historical and religious forces of the times. This book is the first to investigate the meaning of the home and its aesthetics for the Dutch in America, and also the first to look at these homes as a form of art and craft and, importantly, the influence this form and these people had on the shape of the American house to come. The 200 spectacular new color photographs here are beautifully styled in a manner that recalls the paintings of Vermeer and evoke what might have been the ambiance of these homes hundreds of years ago.

  • Dutch New York and the Salem Witch Trials: Some New Evidence
    Item Type Journal Article
    Author Evan Haefeli
    Abstract Jacob Melyen (1640-1706) credited a letter from New York with helping to stop the Salem witchcraft trials. On 6 October 1692 someone in New York composed a response to a series of questions about witchcraft that was endorsed by New York clergy. Many historians credit the authorship to Dutch Reformed minister Henricus Selijns (1636-1701). The author suggests that Melyen's correspondent, Johannes Kerfbijl, may have written this letter. Kerfbijl, a moderate, provides a link between the Leislerian (anti-British crown) and anti-Leislerian opposition to the trials. The article includes the text of some of Melyen's correspondence in the original Dutch and in English translation.

    Editor Peter N. Miller
    Abstract Commemorating the 400th anniversary of Henry Hudson’s voyage and the lasting legacy of Dutch culture in New York, this book explores the life and times of a fascinating woman, her family, and her things. Margrieta was born in the Netherlands but lived at the extremes of the Dutch colonial world, in Malacca on the Malay Peninsula and in Flatbush, Brooklyn. When she came to New York in 1686 with her husband and set up a shop, she brought an astonishing array of Eastern goods, many of which were documented in an inventory made after her death in 1695. Extensive archival research has enabled a collaborative team to reconstruct her story and establish the depth of her connection to Dutch trading establishments in Asia. This is a groundbreaking contribution to the histories of New York City, the Dutch overseas empire, women, and material culture.

  • Dutch New York: The Roots of Hudson Valley Culture
    Item Type Book
    Editor Roger G. Panetta
    Abstract The 2009 quadricentennial celebrations commemorating the discovery of the Hudson River by Henry Hudson will also spotlight one of our deepest and most enduring national legaciesthe Dutch presence that has shaped not just the Hudson Valley but four centuries of American life. This lavishly illustrated book, a companion to the exhibition opening in June 2009 at the Hudson River Museum, takes needed stock of the remarkable past created by the settlers of New Netherlands. Although the Dutch controlled the Hudson Valley only until ceding it to the British in 1664, the Dutch established the towns and cities that today define the regionfrom New Amsterdam upriver to Fort Orange, todays Albany. The Dutch heritage lives on, not only in historic estates or Dutch-named places like the Bronx or Yonkers but also in commerce, law, politics, religion, art, and culture. In thirteen original essays, this book traverses those four centuries to enrich and expand our understanding of Americas origins. The essays, written by a superb team of distinguished scholars, are grouped into five chronological frames1609, 1709, 1809, 1909, and 2009each marking a key point in the history of the Dutch in the valley. The topics range widely, from patterns of settlement and the Dutch encounter with slavery and Native America to Dutch influences in everything from architecture and religion to material culture, language, and literature. Based on fresh research, this book is at once a fascinating introduction to a remarkable past and a much-needed new look at the Dutch role in the region, in the story of Americas origins, and in creating the habits, styles, and practices identified as quintessentially New Yorks.

    Abstract Calls attention to documents in the Notarial Archives of Amsterdam and Rotterdam on the early commercial relations of Holland and Virginia. The Dutch notaries drew up many documents, much like the modern lawyer. Because of the Dutch-Virginia tobacco trade the documents provide much information on all aspects of shipping, controversies over quality and trading practices, the financial position of leading colonists, international business, and attitudes of colonists toward the Dutch. Tells how to secure photocopies of the documents and a descriptive calendar from the University of Victoria, British Columbia.

    Abstract Reprints and annotates nine documents from the Gemeente Archief (Municipal Archives) in Amsterdam that provide new information on the business activities of Asser Levy, the first permanent Jewish settler in 17th-century New Amsterdam. The documents date from 1659 to 1692 and deal mainly with loans, payments, depositions, and lawsuits. There is also information about Levy's relatives. Since materials on Jews in New Amsterdam are sparse, these documents, a sample of the information at the Gemeente Archief, demonstrate the value of research to be done there.

    Abstract "The role of proprietorships, or private colonies in imperial development, has not received the attention it deserves, notwithstanding recent scholarly emphasis on 'state-building'. The continued use of these 'private' devices, even as early modern European nation-states grew more potent, is not only interesting, but is indeed normative though invariably missing from modern studies of empire. This collection provides in-depth analyses of the workings of the proprietorships themselves (rather than proprietary colonies) and in studies ranging from South Carolina to Nieuw Nederland to French West Africa to Brasil, broadens this discussion beyond British North America."--Jacket.

  • Dutch Religion in an English World: Political Upheaval and Ethnic Conflict in the Middle Colonies (New York, New Jersey; Leisler's Rebellion, Calvinism, Pietism)
    Item Type Thesis
    Author Randall Herbert Balmer
    Abstract This dissertation examines the clash of Dutch and English cultures in New York and New Jersey and charts, in particular, the religious effects of that confrontation. The English Conquest of New Netherland in 1664 affected not only political and social institutions but also the religious configuration among the Dutch. Leisler's Rebellion in 1689 provided the first real indication of social tensions within the Dutch community, tensions that played themselves out most conspicuously in the Dutch Reformed Church. Around the turn of the century the Dutch divided, largely along economic lines, into the orthodox camp (consisting of the wealthier element led by Holland-trained clergy) and the pietists (lower-class farmers and artisans, many of whom had migrated to New Jersey around the turn of the century). These divisions, moreover, persisted into the Revolutionary period. Written as narrative history informed by the social sciences, this study offers the following contributions to historical understanding, besides adding to the sparse secondary literature on the Middle Colonies in general and the Dutch in particular. First, the evidence assembled here emphasizes the link between Old and New World institutions. When the Dutch settled New Netherland they sought to replicate the religious culture of Holland, and a century later Theodorus Jacobus Frelinghuysen brought with him to New Jersey a pietism that had already fermented back in the Netherlands. Second, it shows the interplay of geography, economic status, political affiliation, and disposition to revival and posits a link between religious sympathies during the Great Awakening and political allegiances during the Revolution. Finally, it illustrates the difficulty of maintaining non-English cultures and institutions in an increasingly English world. The Dutch were one of several ethnic groups swept before the juggernaut of Anglo-American culture in the eighteenth century, but the pattern of their assimilation is especially interesting because the Dutch of New York Anglicized by the mid-eighteenth century, while the Jersey Dutch Americanized, and the magnitude of that divergence became clear in the Revolutionary era.

  • Dutch Rural New York: Community, Economy, and Family in Colonial Flatbush
    Item Type Thesis
    Author William John McLaughlin
    Abstract Under the direction of Pieter Stuyvesant in the 1650's, Dutch settlers gathered at Flatbush on Long Island in a line village, a design familiar from the colonization of drained lands in Europe. The founders were equal shareholders in town land, each occupying a large home lot which fronted on a road running through the town. They provided land to later arrivals, but population growth was limited throughout the colonial period, as children consistently relocated in other towns when they married. The townspeople vigorously defended their town borders. Within the community, however, their economy's restricted potential for growth required the suppression of competition at one another's expense. As the original shareholders slowly divided their common land, they disguised social differentiation, avoided measuring one family's position against another's, and minimized interest in marginal gains. They sold surplus produce to urban markets and traded throughout the hinterlands that centered on New York City. Otherwise they experienced the urban economy on unfavorable terms, as taxpayers and mortgagors. Flatbush families managed their households to provide for the next generation and evaluated their property for its usefulness, without reference to market prices. Dutch parents exercised little authority over the distribution of their estates. Sons and daughters shared as equals in the separate estates of their mother and father; husband and wife each inherited half of their conjugal and community property. Widowhood was not a problem in a society that recognized the wife's contribution to the formation of a household as the equal of her husband's. Testators prohibited government inventories of their property. Husbands and wives prolonged the life of the household against the claims of individual heirs by granting the surviving spouse complete control over their joint holdings until the youngest heir reached maturity. Children left home as they married and the youngest son succeeded to his father's place of the family farm. The patrilineal tie of father and son did not enjoy a position of privilege. Dutch naming practices reflected this system of diverging devolution. Children bore the first names of all the members of their kindred, and women did not adopt their husbands' names when they married. The Dutch family, as both an emotional and an economic unit, erected the standards of equitable distribution and self-restraint and maintained their norms through a system of interlocking kindreds. Dutch children found spouses in Flatbush or other rural communities, thus establishing marriage as a crucial defense of rural society. Without the special patrilineal ties of their New England neighbors, the Dutch accorded the nuclear family an independent status. The children of Flatbush departed the family homestead as a matter of course. The community was spared the impact of increasing population density and survived throughout the colonial period without being fully integrated into the commercial economy of the city.

  • Dutch Trade and Ceramics in America in the Seventeenth Century
    Item Type Book
    Author Charlotte Wilcoxen
    Abstract A pioneering and fascinating study, Dutch Trade and Ceramics in America in the Seventeenth Century was the first book in English to provide specific information on the various types of Dutch ceramics used by Dutch, English, and Swedish colonists in eastern North America between 1600 and 1700. Charlotte Wilcoxen also examines the broader context of seventeenth-century trade, revealing the maritime channels by which the Dutch brought goods to New Netherland settlements and widely distributed them. Drawing upon a wide range of disparate and inaccessible sources of information, this comprehensive compilation is essential for historical archaeologists and historians.

  • Dutch Women in New Netherland and New York in the Seventeenth Century
    Item Type Thesis
    Author Michael Eugene Gherke
    Abstract The European settlers who emigrated to America in the seventeenth century were decidedly patriarchal. Nevertheless, significant cultural differences in expressions of patriarchy among them existed. Specifically, the Dutch of New Netherland defined the gendered roles of women differently than did other European cultures. More than deputy-husbands, but less than full partner, seventeenth-century Dutch women in New Netherland were integral to the survival and promotion of their families' interests and preservation of the colony. English expropriation of New Netherland in 1664 and permanent acquisition in 1674 inaugurate a process of patriarchal acculturation that over time submerged the roles of Dutch women. However, it did not obliterate them. Family was the basic unit in Dutch society and Dutch law in New Netherland, which mirrored the jurisprudence of Holland, reinforced family structure. Specifically, Dutch law reinforced social stability through laws affecting marriage. As an institution that came under civil law, marriage could be legally dissolved. Nevertheless, most wives appear in court records as defenders and promoters of their family's interests. Therefore, the paradox of seventeenth-century Dutch women was that while their primary roles were wives and mothers, they exercised considerable independence within marriage. Owing to the commercial orientation of New Netherland, decision making by wives was important to the viability of New Netherland and New York economy in the seventeenth century. New Netherland was founded during the golden age of Dutch commerce. Most histories of that age have focused on transoceanic trade, but local commerce was also important particularly for wives. In a population drawn together in close proximity by geography, historically many wives were formally and informally involved in local commerce as shopkeepers, teachers, and occasional traders. As a consequence, young women were educated and trained early for a married life that involved commerce. This work shows the behavior of women in New Netherland was governed by distinctive social, legal, and cultural expectations that governed the lives of Dutch women in the United Provinces of the Netherlands. Specific focus on Dutch women emphasizes the significance of the diversity of culture and gender identities in early America.

  • Empire at the Periphery: British Colonists, Anglo-Dutch Trade, and the Development of the British Atlantic, 1621–1713
    Item Type Book
    Author Christian J. Koot
    Abstract Throughout history the British Atlantic has often been depicted as a series of well-ordered colonial ports that functioned as nodes of Atlantic shipping, where orderliness reflected the effectiveness of the regulatory apparatus constructed to contain Atlantic commerce. Colonial ports were governable places where British vessels, and only British vessels, were to deliver English goods in exchange for colonial produce. Yet behind these sanitized depictions lay another story, one about the porousness of commercial regulation, the informality and persistent illegality of exchanges in the British Empire, and the endurance of a culture of cross-national cooperation in the Atlantic that had been forged in the first decades of European settlement and still resonated a century later.In Empire at the Periphery, Christian J. Koot examines the networks that connected British settlers in New York and the Caribbean and Dutch traders in the Netherlands and in the Dutch colonies in North America and the Caribbean, demonstrating that these interimperial relationships formed a core part of commercial activity in the early Atlantic World, operating alongside British trade. Koot provides unique consideration of how local circumstances shaped imperial development, reminding us that empires consisted not only of elites dictating imperial growth from world capitals, but also of ordinary settlers in far-flung colonial outposts, who often had more in common with—and a greater reliance on—people from foreign empires who shared their experiences of living at the edge of a fragile, transitional world.Part of the series Early American Places

    Abstract Discusses the relationship between 17th-century "mother-city" Amsterdam and its "daughter-town" New Amsterdam by examining woodcuts and copper-plate engravings that represent both the Netherlands and its colonies. These pieces, through their images, metaphors, and mottos, give an idea of the Dutch national character as well as the attitudes that 15th- and 16th-century Dutch elites had toward Dutch colonial possessions. The case of the Amsterdam-New Amsterdam relationship demonstrates that Netherland's commercial powerbrokers desired a semiautonomous status for colonial entities, a situation that would advance mutual prosperity through trade and commerce. Consequently, they showed little interest in establishing or maintaining strict imperial or colonial control.

    Abstract The 2009 quadricentennial celebrations commemorating the discovery of the Hudson River by Henry Hudson will also spotlight one of our deepest and most enduring national legaciesthe Dutch presence that has shaped not just the Hudson Valley but four centuries of American life. This lavishly illustrated book, a companion to the exhibition opening in June 2009 at the Hudson River Museum, takes needed stock of the remarkable past created by the settlers of New Netherlands. Although the Dutch controlled the Hudson Valley only until ceding it to the British in 1664, the Dutch established the towns and cities that today define the regionfrom New Amsterdam upriver to Fort Orange, todays Albany. The Dutch heritage lives on, not only in historic estates or Dutch-named places like the Bronx or Yonkers but also in commerce, law, politics, religion, art, and culture. In thirteen original essays, this book traverses those four centuries to enrich and expand our understanding of Americas origins. The essays, written by a superb team of distinguished scholars, are grouped into five chronological frames1609, 1709, 1809, 1909, and 2009each marking a key point in the history of the Dutch in the valley. The topics range widely, from patterns of settlement and the Dutch encounter with slavery and Native America to Dutch influences in everything from architecture and religion to material culture, language, and literature. Based on fresh research, this book is at once a fascinating introduction to a remarkable past and a much-needed new look at the Dutch role in the region, in the story of Americas origins, and in creating the habits, styles, and practices identified as quintessentially New Yorks.

  • Engendering New Netherland: Implications for Interpreting Early Colonial Societies

    Abstract Here, we study the Algonquian and Iroquoian women who lived in settlements surrounding the Dutch colony of New Netherland, in today’s northeastern United States. We begin by examining their roles in the colony and find that their lives did not fall into the pattern of servitude, concubinage, culture-brokering, and intermarriage that many have seen as the fate of Native or African women in other colonial societies. Instead, these women were, by and large, independent agents and followed their own indigenous customs as they interacted with Europeans. We then go on to explore how this new revisionist view of their actions affects archaeological interpretations of their households and the households of the Europeans as well. We further point out how the role of Native women in New Netherland was influenced in part by the presence and absence of other groups of women—both European and African—there.

  • Evolution of the Onondaga Iroquois: Accommodating Change, 1500-1655
    Item Type Book
    Author James W. Bradley
    Abstract The early history of the Onondaga Iroquois and their cultural responses to the European invasion are illuminated in this valuable study, Evolution of the Onondaga Iroquois. Drawing on a wealth of archaeological evidence and historical documents, James W. Bradley traces the origins of the Onondaga, beginning around a.d. 1200. Much attention is devoted to the sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries, which were marked by the introduction and growing popularity of European trade goods. Bradley shows how the Onondaga creatively used and viewed these exotic objects; such items as axes and kettles were adapted to meet traditional Native needs. ø During the period shortly after the first encounters with Europeans, the Onondaga successfully adjusted to changes in their world rather than being overwhelmed by them. Their accommodation resulted in such celebrated cross-cultural creations as wampum and the League of the Five Nations.

    Abstract The story of New Netherland is often overlooked in tales of the founding of America. The essays in Explorers, Fortunes and Love Letters: A Window on New Netherland offer a new perspective that takes the spotlight off the Puritans of New England and the settlers of Jamestown, Virginia, and instead offers striking arguments for casting the Dutch as central players in the American narrative.

    Abstract Proto-colonial archaeology explores the physical origins of the world culture that evolved out of contacts made in the Age of Exploration, from Columbus to Cromwell.The early defended sites show how colonizing European first responded to the challenges of new environments and new peoples, and how their choices led to conquest, adaption, or failure. Fortifications, once necessary to protect the colonies, are now essential clues to understand their history. The first comparative study of proto-colonial fortifications, First Forts is a collectionof essays written by leading archaeologists in the field. Meeting the needs of archaeologists and historians around the globe, this book will also appeal to military enthusiasts, preservationists, and students of the Age of Exploration.

    Abstract Commemorating the 400th anniversary of Henry Hudson’s voyage and the lasting legacy of Dutch culture in New York, this book explores the life and times of a fascinating woman, her family, and her things. Margrieta was born in the Netherlands but lived at the extremes of the Dutch colonial world, in Malacca on the Malay Peninsula and in Flatbush, Brooklyn. When she came to New York in 1686 with her husband and set up a shop, she brought an astonishing array of Eastern goods, many of which were documented in an inventory made after her death in 1695. Extensive archival research has enabled a collaborative team to reconstruct her story and establish the depth of her connection to Dutch trading establishments in Asia. This is a groundbreaking contribution to the histories of New York City, the Dutch overseas empire, women, and material culture.

  • Food, Drink and Celebrations of the Hudson Valley Dutch
    Item Type Book
    Author Peter G. Rose
    Abstract In 1609, Henry Hudson, under contract with the Dutch East India Company, set out to discover the lucrative Northwest Passage. The Hudson River Valley is what he discovered instead, and along its banks Dutch culture took hold. While the Dutch influence can still be seen in local architecture and customs, it is food and drink that Peter Rose has made her life's work. From beer to bread and cookies to coleslaw, Food, Drink and Celebrations of the Hudson Valley Dutch is a comprehensive look at this important early American influence, complete with recipes to try.

  • "For the Maintenance of the True Religion": Calvinism and the Directors of the Dutch West India Company
    Item Type Journal Article
    Author D. L. Noorlander
    Abstract The directors of the Dutch West India Company have often been at the center of debates about religion and tolerance in Dutch colonies. Using the first comprehensive list of names from the most powerful company chambers, this essay examines the directors' religious affiliations and activity in the Netherlands and the impact of both on the company. Most were full members of the Reformed Church and many participated as elders and deacons on Reformed councils. They did not have as much control over their territories as some have assumed, but their religion matters for several reasons: It involved the company in the international Calvinist community, whose very existence may have fostered a cosmopolitan worldview that was amenable to empire. Their religion shaped their views of the company's aims and achievements and facilitated a great deal of business with the church as the two worked together to meet religious needs abroad. Reformed beliefs about religious authority also allowed them to influence the clergy's interpretation of imperial activity. The purported divide between church and company, minister and merchant, is inconsistent with Reformed doctrines and practices.

  • ‘For the Peace and Well-Being of the Country’: Intercultural Mediators and Dutch-Indian Relations in New Netherland and Dutch Brazil, 1600–1664
    Item Type Thesis
    Author Marcus P. Meuwese
    Abstract Scholars have recently argued that New Netherland should be studied as an integral part of the Atlantic World. One important aspect that has been largely neglected in this wider geographical approach is that of Dutch interactions with native peoples. This dissertation addresses this issue by comparing Dutch-Indian relations in New Netherland and Dutch Brazil. I use intercultural mediators as a tool to analyze Dutch-native relations in the two Dutch American colonies. Because mediators frequently crossed cultural boundaries as interpreters, diplomats, and negotiators, they are fascinating characters for scholars studying interactions between Indians and colonists. In comparing mediators in New Netherland with those in Dutch Brazil, this dissertation demonstrates that local contexts played an important role in shaping cross-cultural interactions in each colony. In Brazil, the Dutch struggle against Portuguese colonists primarily determined Dutch-Indian relations. Both the Dutch West India Company and the various Tupi and Tarairiu peoples of northeastern Brazil needed each other as allies against the Portuguese. In New Netherland the situation was different because there was less fear of a European enemy until the rise of English aggression in the 1650s. In contrast to Brazil, Indians and colonists in New Netherland were brought in close and frequent contact by an informal frontier exchange economy. Despite their different responses to the Dutch, the native peoples in Brazil and New Netherland shared the goal of maintaining independence from their Dutch allies and trading partners. My comparative analysis also complicates commonly held views of Dutch attitudes toward Native Americans. Contrary to traditional assertions that depict the Dutch as solely driven by material exchange, this dissertation shows that Dutch-native interactions in the Atlantic world were also shaped by religious and imperial motives. Finally, this study of mediators in two different colonies demonstrates that the go-betweens did not bring the Indians and Dutch colonists closer together. Although Dutch and Indian negotiators often crossed cultural boundaries to maintain alliances or to prevent bloodshed, they did not create a middle ground of shared symbols and practices. By taking a comparative perspective this dissertation reveals the complexities of Dutch-Indian relations in the Atlantic world.

  • Foreigners in a Dutch Colonial City
    Item Type Journal Article
    Author Joyce D. Goodfriend
    Abstract The article discusses the coexistence of European immigrants with the Dutch population of New York when it was known as New Amsterdam. The author comments on the multiethnic social environment of New Amsterdam but suggests that foreign residents of New Amsterdam did not integrate into the Dutch society of the city but preserved their ethnic identities and religious practices. She discusses how European immigrants were allowed to settle in New Amsterdam due to the low number of settlers from the Netherlands. Cross cultural differences and interethnic conflicts among New Amsterdam residents, including the use of native languages and ethnic slurs, are discussed. She notes how the First Anglo-Dutch War affected the ethnic identities and loyalties of English and Dutch New Amsterdam settlers.

  • Fort Crailo and the Van Rensselaers: The Dutch Colonial Origins of Greenbush & the City of Rensselaer
    Item Type Book
    Author Shirley W. Dunn
    Abstract Illustrated history of the 1663 Fort Crailo built across the Hudson River from Fort Orange (today's Albany, New York) as protection and refuge for the early Dutch settlers living on the east side of the river. Performing the dual function of farmhouse and fort surrounded by a tall wooden palisade, Crailo survived King Philip s War, the French and Indian wars, and the Revolution. For over a century, armies camped on its grounds as they made their way to and from the battles, and it was at Crailo that a British Army surgeon penned the lyrics to Yankee Doodle. When peace finally came, generations of Van Rensselaers enlarged the little fort into a mansion overlooking their 1,500-acre farm that sprawled along the east bank, sowing the seeds for the future Village of Greenbush and the City of Rensselaer. Derelict and shuttered by the late 1800s, Crailo State Historic Site today a museum of Dutch colonial life in New York stands as a rare victory of historic preservation.

    Abstract Since Henry Hudson landed on Manhattan in 1609, the peoples of the Netherlands and North America have been inextricably linked. Four Centuries of Dutch-American Relations, written by a team of nearly one hundred Dutch and American scholars, is the first book to offer a comprehensive history of this bilateral relationship. This volume covers the main paths of contacts, conflicts, and common plans, from the first exploratory contacts in the early seventeenth century to the intense and multifaceted exchanges in the early twenty-first. Based on the most up-to-date research, Four Centuries of Dutch-American Relations will be for years to come a valuable and much-used reference work for anyone interested in the history and culture of the United States and the Netherlands and the larger transatlantic interdependent framework in which they are embedded.

    Abstract Fredryck Flypsen anglicized his name (to Frederick Philipse) and loyalty when the English took over New Netherland. By the 1690's he was engaged in the slave trade; one of his several vessels, the 'Margaret,' was seized for piracy. The seizure resulted in lengthy litigation which was still in progress at his death in 1702. The records do not indicate whether the ship was returned. The Philipse family did not undertake further slave trading with Madagascar for another decade.

  • From Homeland to New Land: A History of the Mahican Indians, 1600–1830
    Item Type Book
    Author William A. Starna
    Abstract This history of the Mahicans begins with the appearance of Europeans on the Hudson River in 1609 and ends with the removal of these Native people to Wisconsin in the 1830s. Marshaling the methods of history, ethnology, and archaeology, William A. Starna describes as comprehensively as the sources allow the Mahicans while in their Hudson and Housatonic Valley homeland; after their consolidation at the praying town of Stockbridge, Massachusetts; and following their move to Oneida country in central New York at the end of the Revolution and their migration west.The emphasis throughout this book is on describing and placing into historical context Mahican relations with surrounding Native groups: the Munsees of the lower Hudson, eastern Iroquoians, and the St. Lawrence and New England Algonquians. Starna also examines the Mahicans’ interactions with Dutch, English, and French interlopers. The first and most transformative of these encounters was with the Dutch and the trade in furs, which ushered in culture change and the loss of Mahican lands. The Dutch presence, along with the new economy, worked to unsettle political alliances in the region that, while leading to new alignments, often engendered rivalries and war. The result is an outstanding examination of the historical record that will become the definitive work on the Mahican people from the colonial period to the Removal Era.

  • From the Mohawk-Mahican War to the Beaver Wars: Questioning the Pattern
    Item Type Journal Article
    Author William A. Starna
    Author José António Brandão
    Abstract Examines the relationship between the Mohawk-Mahican War of the mid-1620's and the Beaver Wars of the 17th century, which were supposedly waged by the Iroquois to gain control of the fur trade from the Hurons, the Northern Algonquins, and their French allies. This article emphasizes a potential cultural underpinning, in addition to the usual notion that conflict revolved around European influences in the fur trade. Although fur trading was a factor, the conflicts were more about continuing the relationships these natives had in place long before the fur trade business existed. The pattern of conflict, then, was based on the struggle of the St. Lawrence Iroquois to save their domain. Since the 1580's, the Hurons, Mohawks, and other Iroquois throughout the St. Lawrence and the lower Great Lakes region had expelled the St. Lawrence group from their villages. The Mohawk-Mahican War and Beaver Wars, therefore, were in part about land and saving what had previously been a vital resource.

    Item Type Book
    Author Harrison Frederick Meeske
    Contributor Geoffrey Gross
    Abstract During the eighteenth century, new concepts in domestic design were introduced and adopted. Modifications to elevation during the period suggested even a small house could reflect an owner's stylish aspirations. Increasing material wealth enabled many householders to enlarge their dwellings and introduce the concept of specialized and personalized rooms. Older vernacular houses were adapted and new structures were built. The new plans change of form preceded and unintentionally resulted in new lifestyles. The adoption of specialized rooms fragmented earlier living arrangements and effectively ended the communal post-medieval household. Hall passageways, private rooms, and locking doors established the setting fundamental to the emergence of attitudes concerning individual personal privacy and popularized perceptions fundamental to contemporary lifestyles. Harrison Meeske is the author of The Hudson Valley Dutch and Their Houses (Purple Mountain Press, 1998 and 2001). Lushly illustrated with 32 pages of large-format color plates by noted architectural photographer Geoffrey Gross.

    Translator Myra Heerspink Scholz
    Abstract This biography recalls the fascinating life of the second Reformed minister of New Amsterdam (present-day New York), Everardus Bogardus, a poor but gifted youth who worked himself upward into the ministry. The first part of the book provides an in-depth analysis of his mystical experience as a 15-year old orphan in his hometown Woerden (Holland) and its significance in the Dutch context. The second part explores Bogardus's agency in the colonial context and his appropriation of his new fatherland - as a minister among the Europeans, the Native Americans, and the blacks, as a spokesman of the opposition during Kieft's War, and as a colonist married to the famous Anneke Jans. This biography is conceived as a mentality history of an early modern male individual. "Fulfilling God's Mission: The Two Worlds of Dominie Everardus Bogardus, 1607-1647" has been granted the 2008 Hendrick's Award.

  • Fur, Fortune, and Empire: The Epic History of the Fur Trade in America
    Item Type Book
    Author Eric Jay Dolin
    Abstract In Fur, Fortune, and Empire, best-selling author Eric Jay Dolin chronicles the rise and fall of the fur trade of old, when the rallying cry was "get the furs while they last." Beavers, sea otters, and buffalos were slaughtered, used for their precious pelts that were tailored into extravagant hats, coats, and sleigh blankets. To read Fur, Fortune, and Empire then is to understand how North America was explored, exploited, and settled, while its native Indians were alternately enriched and exploited by the trade. As Dolin demonstrates, fur, both an economic elixir and an agent of destruction, became inextricably linked to many key events in American history, including the French and Indian War, the American Revolution, and the War of 1812, as well as to the relentless pull of Manifest Destiny and the opening of the West. This work provides an international cast beyond the scope of any Hollywood epic, including Thomas Morton, the rabble-rouser who infuriated the Pilgrims by trading guns with the Indians; British explorer Captain James Cook, whose discovery in the Pacific Northwest helped launch America's China trade; Thomas Jefferson who dreamed of expanding the fur trade beyond the Mississippi; America's first multimillionaire John Jacob Astor, who built a fortune on a foundation of fur; and intrepid mountain men such as Kit Carson and Jedediah Smith, who sliced their way through an awe inspiring and unforgiving landscape, leaving behind a mythic legacy still resonates today. Concluding with the virtual extinction of the buffalo in the late 1800s, Fur, Fortune, and Empire is an epic history that brings to vivid life three hundred years of the American experience, conclusively demonstrating that the fur trade played a seminal role in creating the nation we are today. - Publisher.

  • Gateways to Empire: Quebec and New Amsterdam to 1664
    Item Type Book
    Author Daniel J. Weeks
    Abstract In Gateways to Empire: Quebec and New Amsterdam to 1664, historian Daniel Weeks has provided the first comprehensive comparative study of the North-American fur-trading colonies New France and New Netherland. While neither colony profited very much, if at all, from the fur trade (though many individuals fortunes were undoubtedly made), Weeks finds that New France, which far outpaced New Netherland in this trade, grew more slowly and had greater difficulty sustaining itself. As he demonstrates in Gateways to Empire, other factors, including New Netherland’s openness to religious and ethnic diversity and wider connections to the Atlantic World, allowed it to become more economically secure than its rival north of the St. Lawrence. And yet, in both cases, the principal towns of these European colonies—Quebec and New Amsterdam—moved beyond their initial purposes as hubs for trade with the indigenous peoples to become gateways to European settlement. In this, New Amsterdam, by the late 1640s, was singularly successful, so that it rapidly fostered the production of new European towns in its hinterlands, organizing the landscape for settlement and also for trade within the European-dominated Atlantic-World system.

  • "Gentiles by Nature": Indian-Dutch Relations in New Netherland/New York, 1524-1750
    Item Type Thesis
    Author Stephen Staggs
    Abstract This work evaluates the evolution of the cross-cultural encounters that took place between the Eastern Woodland Indians and the Europeans living in and around the Dutch colony of New Netherland during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. It challenges a common view that the Dutch generally lacked curiosity about Indians, made no serious attempt to convert them, maintained a social distance from them, and were only interested in establishing commercial relationships with them. Using the extensive pamphlet and sermon literature and the records of the West India Company, Classis of Amsterdam, and patroonships available in the Netherlands as well as the records of the government of New Netherland available in the New York State Archives, the dissertation shows that Reformed leaders in the Dutch Republic viewed Indians as Gentiles worthy of evangelistic outreach. This characterization influenced the expectations of the Reformed clergy who were sent to convert the Indians living in and around New Netherland, and prefigured, to a certain extent, the relationships that developed between Indians and New Netherlanders. These sources also reveal that the Dutch were certainly curious about Indians. The main body of the dissertation is divided into six chapters. They survey the historiography of Indian-Dutch relations in New Netherland, highlighting scholarly work that has touched on the role and influence of the (Dutch) Reformed Church, examine the conceptualizations of Indians that the leaders of the Reformed Church presented in the Dutch Republic during the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries as well as the source of those images, the directions given to Reformed clergy sent overseas with regards to mission work and whether the clergy followed those directions, the impressions that Indians and colonists developed of one another, and the evolving nature of Indian-Dutch relations, and assess the efforts of the Reformed clergy in converting Indians. What emerges from the original sources are a series of complex, interdependent, and familiar relationships that developed between Indians and New Netherlanders during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.

    Abstract Gideon's People is the story of an American Indian community in the Housatonic Valley of northwestern Connecticut. It is based on some three decades of nearly uninterrupted German-language diaries and allied records kept by the Moravian missionaries who had joined the Indians at a place called Pachgatgoch, later Schaghticoke. It is supplemented by colonial records and regional political, social, and religious histories and ethnographies. As such, it represents the only comprehensive, thoroughly contextualized description of a Native people in southern New England and adjacent eastern New York.

  • Guilders and Godliness: The Dutch Colonial Contribution to American Religious Pluralism
    Item Type Journal Article
    Author George L. Smith
    Abstract An examination of the church-state conflicts in the Netherlands' American Colony, which the author feels has been slighted by historians. While promising the Dutch Reformed Church that religious tolerance would be eliminated, the commercially minded West India Company never implemented this policy. An official policy of "connivance" to permit dissent even though contrary to law allowed the growth of religious pluralism in the colony. The company found that religious toleration was profitable while intolerance in the New Netherlands Colony proved both impossible and injurious to economic growth. The authority of the church, in both old and New Netherlands, was subjugated to the capitalistic credo of the West India Company. Based on general histories of American colonial church activities and materials from the Amsterdam Municipal Archives; 110 notes.

  • Heaven’s Wrath: The Protestant Reformation and the Dutch West India Company in the Atlantic World
    Item Type Book
    Author D. L. Noorlander
    Abstract Heaven's Wrath explores the religious thought and religious rites of the early Dutch Atlantic world. D. L. Noorlander argues that the Reformed Church and the West India Company forged and maintained a close union, with considerable consequences across the seventeenth century.Dutch merchants, officers, sailors, and soldiers found in their faith an ideology and justification for mercantile and martial activities. The West India Company supported the Reformed Church financially in Europe and helped spread Calvinism to other continents, while Calvinist employees and colonists benefitted from the familiar aspects of religious instruction and public worship. Yet, Noorlander argues, the church-company union also encouraged destructive military operations against Catholic enemies abroad and divisive campaigns against sinners and religious nonconformers in colonial courts. Religious fervor, violence, and intolerance imposed financial and demographic costs that the small Dutch Republic and its people-strapped colonies could not afford. At the same time, the Reformed Church in the Netherlands undermined its own religious mission by trying to control colonial hires, publications, and organization from afar.Noorlander's argument in Heaven's Wrath questions the core assumptions about why the Dutch failed to establish a durable empire in America. He downplays the usual commercial explanations and places the focus instead on the tremendous expenses incurred in the Calvinist-backed war and the Reformed Church's meticulous, worried management of colonial affairs.By pinpointing the issues that hampered the size and import of the Dutch Atlantic world, Noorlander is poised to revise core notions about the organization and aims of the Dutch empire, the culture of the West India Company, and the very shape of Dutch society.

  • Historic Contact: Indian People and Colonists in Today's Northeastern United States in the Sixteenth Through Eighteenth Centuries
    Item Type Book
    Author Robert Steven Grumet
    Abstract Anthropologist and preservationist Robert S. Grumet has created this up-to-date, well-written overview of historic contact with Native Americans on the colonial frontier from a vast array of documentary, archaeological, and ethnographic data never assembled before. This is a definitive history of early Indian-white relations in an area extending from Virginia to Maine and from the Atlantic coast to the upper Ohio River. It will be read by specialists and Indian-studies buffs alike. Historic Contact divides native northeastern America into three subregions where the histories of thirty-four Indian Countries are described and mapped in detail, including all National Historic Landmarks. In the North Atlantic Region are the Eastern and Western Abenaki, Pocumtuck-Squakheag, Nipmuck, Pennacook-Pawtucket, Massachusett, Wampanoag, Narragansett, Mohegan-Pequot, Montauk, Lower Connecticut Valley, and Mahican Indian Countries; in the Middle Atlantic Region, the Munsee, Delaware, Nanticoke, Piscataway-Potomac, Powhatan, Nottoway-Meherrin, Upper Potomac-Shenandoah, Virginian Piedmont, Southern Appalachian Highlands, and lower Susquehanna Indian Countries; and in the Trans-Appalachian Region, the Mohawl, Oneida, Cayuga, Seneca, Niagara-Erie, Upper Susquehanna, and Upper Ohio Indian Countries. Readers interested in Indian history and colonial America will value this basic reference, which originated as a National Historic landmarks Survey Theme Study. Federal agencies, state and local preservation officers, and Indian communities will use it as an excellent planning tool in making evaluations protection decisions.

  • History, Memory, and the Indian Struggle for Autonomy in the Seventeenth-Century Hudson Valley
    Item Type Journal Article
    Author Jason R. Sellers
    Abstract This essay uses treaty records, council minutes, personal correspondence, and travel narratives to argue that Hudson Valley Indians seized on the 1664 English conquest of New Netherland to try to position Natives and newcomers as independent members of an extended community sharing a common past and landscape. Formulating a history emphasizing peace, preserving the memory of that past through ritual actions, and involving English colonists in processes that rested on that history, Native Americans sought to integrate the newcomers into their existing network of social relations and a physical landscape that manifested those relations. Meanwhile, English colonists seeking to secure the colony and confirm individual land titles participated in rituals, agreed to treaties, and recorded land purchases in ways that acknowledged Indians' memories regarding lands and the communities that inhabited them. Though the project ultimately failed, the English conquest of New Netherland briefly introduced the possibility of integrating the newcomers into a larger community of diverse, autonomous peoples connected by a common history embedded in the Hudson Valley's regional landscape.

  • Holland and the Dutch Republic in the Seventeenth Century: The Politics of Particularism
    Item Type Book
    Author J. L Price
    Abstract This is a study of the politics of the pivotal province of Holland and of its role in the political system of the Dutch Republic as a whole in the seventeenth century. It is an original, scholarly, and challenging analysis, which treats the reality of politics from the ground up. J.L. Price explores the politics of the towns of Holland in detail, examines the province's political system, and assesses the ways in which Holland influenced the policies of the Dutch Republic in its Golden Age. He argues, controversially, that not only did the decentralized political system of the Republic work well, but that a more unified state would have been a failure. Dr Price's novel approach to a complex and important subject sets politics in its economic and social context, and offers valuable insights into the practical politics of the Dutch during the period when they played a major role on the world stage.

  • Holland Mania: The Unknown Dutch Period in American Art & Culture
    Item Type Book
    Author Annette Stott
    Abstract Holland Mania is an extraordinary book about a curious era in which a significant portion of the American sensibility celebrated all things Dutch. This Dutch sensibility - in contrast to earlier and prevailing notions of British traditions in America - was, for a time, almost maniacally taken up. For forty years between 1880 and 1920, this remarkable period in American cultural history took place. In 1903, an editorial in Ladies' Home Journal announced to millions of American readers that Holland, not England, was the Motherland of the United States. Citing evidence of colonial Dutch influence in American politics, cultural institutions, social customs, and even language, the editorial concluded that all truly American characteristics and ideals originated in the Netherlands! It came at the height of a craze for Holland that affected Americans from nearly every geographic region of the United States.

  • 'How It Came That the Bakers Bake No Bread': A Struggle for Trade Privileges in Seventeenth-Century New Amsterdam
    Item Type Journal Article
    Author Simon Middleton
    Abstract Details the power struggles, economic factors, and entrepreneurial strategies that resulted in the establishment of a bakers guild in New Amsterdam in 1661. As early as 1649, the West India Company's director general in New Netherland, Peter Stuyvesant, attempted to address consumer complaints about bread shortages and price gouging. Although he implemented price controls, Stuyvesant failed to consider the effects of currency (wampum) inflation and unregulated competition from nonresident seasonal bakers. Only as the West India Company's commerce regulation role was gradually supplanted by the Dutch "burgomaster" municipal government system, beginning in 1653, were bakers' concerns given a balanced hearing. The creation of bakery inspectors and the bakers guild helped resolve conflicts between entrepreneurial self-interest and communitarian obligations in New Amsterdam's, and ultimately New York's, baking trade.

  • Iberian Linguistic Elements Among the Black Population in New Netherland (1614–1664)
    Item Type Journal Article
    Author Jeroen Dewulf
    Abstract Since the slave population in New Netherland (1614–1664) was small compared to that of other Dutch Atlantic colonies such as Curaçao, Dutch Brazil, and Suriname, it has traditionally received little attention by scholars, including creolists. It is, therefore, not well known that traces of Iberian languages can be found among the black population of seventeenth-century Manhattan. While the paucity of sources does not allow us to make any decisive claims with regard to the importance of Spanish and Portuguese for the colony’s black community, this article attempts to reconstruct the language use of this population group on the basis of an analysis of historical sources from New Netherland in a broader Atlantic context.

  • Imagining New Netherland: Origins and Survival of Netherlandic Architecture in Old New York
    Item Type Thesis
    Author Jeroen Van den Hurk
    Abstract Utilizing surviving seventeenth-century building contracts from both the Netherlands and the Dutch colony of New Netherland in North America, "Imagining New Netherland" takes a critical look at what has been deemed Dutch colonial architecture. Previously the definition of Dutch colonial architecture relied upon an early twentieth-century construct based on the research of surviving late-seventeenth-century and eighteenth-century architecture, because no buildings survive from the initial period of European settlement, ca. 1624-1664. However, a close study of the surviving building contracts from both countries serves as a starting point for reconstructing the built environment of New Netherland. A comparison of the surviving building contracts from New Netherland with seventeenth-century building contracts from the Netherlands reveals that they are very similar in their tripartite format, formal language, and the nomenclature used to describe the technical aspects of the buildings. This indicates a mirroring of Dutch traditions by the settlers of New Netherland. However the cultural heterogeneous make-up of the initial European settlers of the colony, the availability of different building materials, and the smaller number and skill level of the available craftsmen covering a much larger geographic area shaped this architecture from the beginning. Nevertheless the settlers of New Netherland created an architecture based on Netherlandic prototypes, relying on a structural bent system for framing with high ceilings and distinctive Netherlandic window types, perhaps more appropriately labeled New Netherlandic than Dutch colonial. At some point, we are dealing with a population of builders and clients for whom the existing New Netherlandic architecture in the colony was their cultural heritage, for they had never seen Europe. In isolated areas in upstate New York, these New Netherlandic traditions may have lasted longer, whereas in settlements closer to New York City clients may have opted to follow more popular English trends leading to a more rapid change, or decline, in traditional framing methods. By the third quarter of the eighteenth century, facing an increasing decline in their 'Dutchness,' they gradually submitted to new external influences and blended into a more Anglo-American landscape.

  • "In Behalf of the True Protestants Religion": The Glorious Revolution in New York
    Item Type Thesis
    Author David William Voorhees
    Abstract In June 1689 a rebellion by the New York militia ousted James II's provincial government. Jacob Leisler, a militia captain, subsequently assumed control. Upon the arrival of the new English governor in March 1691 Leisler was tried as a traitor and executed. The political and social effects of the uprising, known as "Leisler's Rebellion," would be felt in New York for generations. Despite the importance of this event, most students of the rebellion have consistently confined their vision to New York and narrowed their research to English-speaking sources, though New York was settled by the Dutch and many other non-English people. Almost ignored is the casus belli cited by the rebels that they were acting to save New York for the "true Protestant religion." The rebels' claim gains credibility by placing the New York rebellion in the context of late-seventeenth-century European political and religious tensions. Western Europe in the seventeenth century was host to the continuing struggle between Catholic and Protestant, a rivalry closely linked to the development of the nation state. Political struggles in European Protestant states were aligned to differing doctrinal interpretations within the Protestant churches. Louis XIV's pogrom against the Huguenots in 1685 intensified doctrinal strife in Protestant Europe, throwing popular opinion to favor the orthodox wing of Reformed Calvinism. The political upheaval in New York was consistent with the European struggle. The New York rebels justified their action on a political ideology developed by orthodox Reformed theologians in Europe, especially in the Netherlands. An examination of the religious background of the New York rebels confirms that they were adherents of orthodox Reformed doctrine, while an examination of the rebels' opponents reveals them to be primarily adherents of Erastian Protestantism. The subsequent events in New York were largely shaped by the political contest between the two groups in Europe and England. When examined in the broader European context the Glorious Revolution in New York can be seen as a product of the ideological conflicts between religious factions in the Old World.

  • In Pursuit of Profit: Persistent Dutch Influence on the Inter-Imperial Trade of New York and the English Leeward Islands, 1621–1689
    Item Type Thesis
    Author Christian J. Koot
    Abstract In the last fifty years scholars have endeavored to explain how trans-Atlantic commerce developed during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. They have focused on the development of separate, competing empires over many generations, but have tended to overlook the crucial part played by the transmission of culture, goods, and entrepreneurial activities across the boundaries of empires. This dissertation uses a comparative perspective to consider the importance of persistent Dutch influences in two particular British places in the Western Hemisphere during the seventeenth century: the city of New York and the port cities of the English Leeward Islands. In these places, sojourners from England and the Netherlands blended their influences to create distinctive commercial centers. Even as English officials exercised greater centralized control over their emerging empire, colonists continued to exploit opportunities for inter-imperial trade with the Dutch, who in turn contributed both to the daily life of settlers and to the commercial growth of the regions. The persistence of cross-national commerce is consequential because of the significant contribution Dutch influence made both to daily life in the colonies and to the economic development of the English Atlantic. Detailing the benefits of contact between Dutch traders and English colonists reveals that membership in the empire was just one of a variety of factors enabling English colonies to succeed. The findings of this dissertation should push us to further refine our notion of empire. While empires were important as the loose structures within which colonists operated, historians of the Atlantic world can no longer consider them as insular entities bounded by navies and imperial policy. The very porous nature of seventeenth-century empires was as important as their ability to direct colonial development. Connections to the Dutch Republic advanced the English Atlantic, as did individual merchants' choices to belong to extra-imperial communities of trade. People who regularly transcended national boundaries were, in fact, instrumental in the construction of an English empire.

  • In Search of Peace and Harmony: New York Communities in the Seventeenth Century
    Item Type Journal Article
    Author Langdon G. Wright
    Abstract New York towns valued peace and harmony as did 17th-century New England towns, but they did not seek to establish little utopias. English communities developed town meetings that developed as the primary source of local authority, although they had no legal status and declined after the 1660's. English towns were more preoccupied with achieving economic self-sufficiency than were the Dutch towns. Town records indicate little evidence of litigation and internal disputes. Based on town records and other primary sources; 3 illus., 2 maps, 28 notes.

  • Indian Corn and Dutch Pots: Seventeenth-Century Foodways in New Amsterdam/New York
    Item Type Journal Article
    Author Meta F. Janowitz
    Abstract Foodways of every colonizing European group changed in the New World, but, before the changes can be assessed, it is necessary to know what foods and food-related artifacts were common and available in the mother countries. Dutch foodways can be described using documents, excavated artifacts, and genre paintings. New York City began as a Dutch colony, and its foodways in the 17th century reflected this origin. Modifications in Dutch-American utilization of European domestic plants and animals were similar to changes in neighboring British colonies, but artifacts, specifically ceramics, remained recognizably Dutch well after the British annexation of the colony in 1664.

  • Indian Corn and Dutch Pots: Seventeenth-Century Foodways in New Amsterdam/New York City
    Item Type Thesis
    Author Meta Patricia Fayden
    Abstract The foodways of every colonizing European group changed in the New World, but, before the changes can be assessed, it is necessary to know what foods and food-related artifacts were common and available in the mother countries. New York City began as a Dutch colony, and its foodways in the seventeenth century reflected this origin. This study is approached as a historic ethnography with two main centers of interest: first, the comparison of Dutch-American to Dutch foodways and, second, the exploration of how foodways changed after the British assumption of political power in 1664. The study begins by describing Dutch seventeenth-century foodways using data from documents and genre paintings. New Amsterdam/New York City foodways are next reconstructed using documents and excavated artifacts; they are then compared to those of the Netherlands and to those of surrounding British colonies. Ceramics, because they are ubiquitous on archaeological sites and because the great majority of vessels functioned as food-preparation, food-service, or food-storage forms, are the artifact class that is emphasized. Excavated faunal material is also examined. The ceramics and bones are from three sites excavated in Lower Manhattan in the late 1970s and early 1980s. The conclusion is that Dutch-American foodways, particularly in the forms and functions of food-related ceramics, are distinctive and different from British-American foodways, and that they remained recognizably Dutch well after the British annexation of the colony in 1664.

  • Informing Environmental History with Historical Ecology: Agricultural Wetlands in New Netherland, 1630-1830
    Item Type Thesis
    Author Chelsea Teale
    Abstract Many wetlands in northeastern North America should be considered relict agroecosystems as a result of widespread use for hay production and pasture during the colonial era. Open land in the heavily forested Northeast was frequently confined to areas with high water tables and colonists relied on graminoid-dominated wetlands to provide livestock fodder. Although legacy effects are largely unknown, wetland function, stratigraphic integrity, and appearance were undoubtedly affected by mowing and grazing. Wetland management through ditching, burning, diking, and irrigating would also have had impacts. Identifying the lingering influence of such activities is especially relevant for the United States where the remaining half of original wetland acreage is highly valued for ecosystem services. This dissertation used archival texts (court minutes, tax rolls, probate records, journals), maps and property surveys, and proxy records (pollen, macrofossils, phytoliths, fungal spores, charcoal) to document wetland agriculture within the relatively understudied Dutch colony of New Netherland. Of specific interest are written references to the timing and frequency of disturbances like mowing and grazing. A regional-scale narrative of wetland use and management is developed based on results for New Netherland combined with what is known for French and English settlement groups. Because wetlands in the Northeast were similarly managed by different settlement groups, ecologists and historians working in this region may be able to carefully assume land-use histories based on wetland type and location. Possible short-term and legacy effects are suggested by contemporary ecological assessments from North America and Europe serving as modern analogs.

  • Inheritance and Family Life in Colonial New York City
    Item Type Book
    Author David E. Narrett
    Abstract This book breaks new ground by offering the first detailed and systematic analysis of inheritance practices in New York City from the beginning of Dutch settlement in the 1620s to the onset of the American Revolution. By analyzing a broad range of original sources - including more than 2,300 wills - David E. Narrett shows how the transmission of property at death reflected the distribution of power and authority within the family. The author makes an especially important contribution to early New York history by explaining the Dutch origins of social and family customs, and by tracing the persistence of Dutch ways following the English conquest of New Netherland in 1664. He demonstrates that seventeenth-century Dutch law was particularly favorable to women since it sanctioned community property within marriage, the drafting of mutual wills by spouses, and the equal (or nearly equal) division of property among all children. While the book maintains its comparative focus on the Dutch and English traditions, it also includes material on other ethnic groups (for example, French Huguenots and Jews) living in a pluralistic society. Narrett utilizes both Dutch and English language sources to examine such pertinent topics as the relationship between law and social custom, primogeniture, kinship and communal ties, charitable bequests, the manumission of slaves, and the literacy level of testators. Written in a clear and precise manner, the book includes many tables that will give readers immediate access to supporting data, and a conclusion establishes the relationship of Narrett's findings to the most recent scholarship. A valuable addition to the literature on inheritance, this is a book whose conclusions and data will be mined by colonialists, legal historians, and historians of women and the family.

  • Innocence Abroad: The Dutch Imagination and the New World, 1570–1670
    Item Type Book
    Author Benjamin Schmidt
    Abstract Innocence Abroad explores the process of encounter that took place between the Netherlands and the New World in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. The "discovery" of America coincided with the foundation of the Dutch Republic, a correspondence of much significance for the Netherlands. From the opening of their Revolt against Hapsburg Spain through the climax of their Golden Age, the Dutch looked to America--in political pamphlets and patriotic histories, epic poetry and allegorical prints, landscape painting and decorative maps--for a means of articulating a new national identity. This book demonstrates how the image of America fashioned by the Dutch, and especially the twin topoi of "innocence" and "tyranny," became integrally associated with evolving political, moral and economic agenda. It investigates the energetic Dutch response to the New World while examining, more generally, the operation of geographic discourse and colonial ideology within the Dutch Golden Age.

  • Innocence Abroad: The Dutch Imagination and the Representation of the New World, c. 1570-1670
    Item Type Thesis
    Author Benjamin Schmidt
    Abstract This dissertation examines Dutch perceptions and reactions to the New World during the formative century of the Republic, 1570-1670. While scholars have lavished attention on the process of Dutch assimilation in the New World, the reverse process--how the New World became assimilated in the Old--remains uncharted territory. This is all the more regrettable in light of pioneering work done on the question of European images of the Other and the broader impact of America in Renaissance Europe. Research occasioned by the Quincentenary has admirably furthered our understanding of the encounter more generally, yet also made the omission of national studies more glaring. My research aims to fill these gaps in the historiography: first, by examining Dutch representations of the New World and, second, by accounting for the significance of the image of America within the cultural and political life of the Dutch Golden Age. Organized along both chronological and thematic lines, this project uses literary, visual, and cartographic sources to demonstrate how the idea of America first entered the Dutch imagination, how it evolved into a staple of political rhetoric, and how it came to influence Dutch policies at home and abroad. Especially during the Revolt against Spain (1568-1648), the imaginative formulation of America as an "ally" and the Indian as a "brother-in-arms" featured prominently in patriotic propaganda; and throughout the period, Dutch pamphleteers and printmakers consciously manipulated the image of "America" to shape policy and opinion. By charting the development of these topoi over time, this study shows how geographic discourse, even when it related to the most exotic of locales, reflected domestic concerns. A study of one culture's assimilation, adaptation, and representation of another land, this dissertation affords a cultural geography of the Republic during its Golden Age. It illustrates how geographic description in the early modern period coincided with political, economic, and social imperatives. The Dutch seized upon the idea of America, first, to blacken the reputation of Spain, later, to rally support for overseas "missions," and, finally, to attack moral "decline" at home. In all its shapes, America proved to be an unusually malleable entity. Seventeenth-century geography, even as practiced by the renowned map makers, printers, and travel writers of the Netherlands, is shown to be a cultural exercise in self-expression or self-aggrandizement. It yields, as such, invaluable source material long overlooked by historians and provides further lessons for understanding other European encounters during the Age of Discovery.

  • Intercultural Contact and the Creation of Albany's New Diplomatic Landscape, 1647–1680
    Item Type Thesis
    Author Holly Anne Rine
    Abstract This dissertation analyzes the process of Albany's rise to the center of American Indian-European relations on the northeast coast of North America between the years 1647–1680. By the year 1677 the Albany courthouse served as the meeting place for the negotiations that formed the Covenant Chain between the Five Nations of the Iroquois and the English colonies of North America. To reach this important development, however, took years of political, military, economic and cultural struggle. Moreover, these struggles were not merely between the Iroquois and the English who would eventually negotiate the Covenant Chain, but within them as well. Moreover, this dissertation focuses on analyzing how the actions of the Dutch and smaller Indian tribes such as the Esopus, Wappingers, and Hackensacks were imperative in establishing Albany as the center of the new diplomatic landscape of Indian and European affairs in northeast North America. In analyzing these developments this study explores how knowledge of specific lands and spaces such as woods, rivers, towns, forts and courthouses led to greater control of those places and spaces. As knowledge and control of these areas changed, new places would serve as centers of power and others would fall from their positions of power. Eventually, the seemingly constant shifts of control over certain regions would stabilize, allowing fewer groups to utilize their knowledge and control of the area around Albany, which allowed the city to serve as the site of future negotiations among Indians and Europeans after the 1670s. Other events such as the Peach and Esopus Wars altered power relations between European and Indian residents of the Hudson River Valley and also led to shifts in the geography of those relations for almost all of English North America. Furthermore, far ranging events such as Bacon's Rebellion, Metacom's War, the Five Nations' war with the Susquehannocks and the Third Anglo-Dutch War contributed to Albany's rise to prominence in the 1670s. This study argues that it was the combination of all these events that created Albany as the new diplomatic landscape in northeast North America.

  • Intimate Networks and Children's Survival in New Netherland in the Seventeenth Century
    Item Type Journal Article
    Author Susanah Shaw Romney
    Abstract This essay investigates the lives of children on their own in the Dutch colony before 1664. Literature on the early modern Netherlands has shown the importance of civic institutions in caring for children in need, and some such institutions developed in New Netherland. Children's experiences differed greatly, however, despite or because of civic action. Similarly, though realities such as race and status shaped the opportunities and threats children faced, children's varied outcomes indicate that these realities did not solely determine which children thrived. Investigating the lives of several black and white children in New Netherland reveals that social networks and intimate connections played a critical role in determining who suffered or survived. Thus, we should look to face-to- face bonds and intimate connections to understand what determined a child's place within colonial hierarchies.

    Abstract This book explores the archaeology of New York City’s borough of the Bronx by presenting several recent projects that exemplify current practice. The chapters describe some of the ways archaeology can, and has been, conducted: field schools, public archaeology, cultural resource management, technical examination of recovered finds, and ethnohistory. The scope is wide-ranging and covers subjects from Native American to the early 20th century. The reader will learn about discoveries made as well as the strategies involved in excavation, analysis, and interpretation that eventually yield historical knowledge. The last three chapters explain how archaeologists in New York City are responding to the modern challenges of preserving and curating finds, making archaeological information accessible to the widest possible audience, and conserving archaeological sites and protecting them from destruction so the evidence they contain can last into the future.

    Abstract Commemorating the 400th anniversary of Henry Hudson’s voyage and the lasting legacy of Dutch culture in New York, this book explores the life and times of a fascinating woman, her family, and her things. Margrieta was born in the Netherlands but lived at the extremes of the Dutch colonial world, in Malacca on the Malay Peninsula and in Flatbush, Brooklyn. When she came to New York in 1686 with her husband and set up a shop, she brought an astonishing array of Eastern goods, many of which were documented in an inventory made after her death in 1695. Extensive archival research has enabled a collaborative team to reconstruct her story and establish the depth of her connection to Dutch trading establishments in Asia. This is a groundbreaking contribution to the histories of New York City, the Dutch overseas empire, women, and material culture.

    Abstract Jacques Cortelyou was educated at the Free University of Utrecht during 1640-45, where he absorbed rational and liberal religion. He came to New Amsterdam in 1652 and became an official with both the Dutch and English colonial governments. Cortelyou remained a distinct, tolerant, and rationalist religionist and was perhaps the first Socinian, or Unitarian, in North America.

  • John Bowne's Flushing: Material Life on a Dutch Frontier, 1645-1700
    Item Type Thesis
    Author Lauren Holly Brincat
    Abstract Seeking greater opportunity and religious toleration, a group of New Englanders migrated to Dutch western Long Island. In 1645 they were granted a patent for the town of Flushing. Located on the periphery of New Netherland, Flushing was one of five English communities buffering eastern Long Island settlements controlled by English authorities. Cultures converged in this frontier region. English settlers mixed with Dutch inhabitants, Quakers, French Huguenots, Native Americans, and enslaved Africans. Flushing's diverse residents benefited from the town's strategic location on the Long Island Sound and the area's productive marshes and meadows which supported trade and the acquisition of international goods. Using a collection of probate inventories spanning the years 1669 to 1689 and the account book of John and Samuel Bowne (1649-1703), this thesis investigates local production and consumption and the influence of pluralism upon Flushing's material landscape. Explorations of agricultural methods, trade, fashion, and domestic interiors reveal that seventeenth-century Flushing was an identifiably English and Quaker enclave that boasted a rich and complex material life shaped by the selective appropriation and exchange of objects and ideas from various Native and European sources.

  • Justice and Just War: A History of Early New England, 1630–1655
    Item Type Thesis
    Author Matthew S. Muehlbauer
    Abstract Classical just war theory sought to restrain both the resort to force and the extent of violence in the midst of conflict. In the early seventeenth century, such thought was known to educated Europeans, including those who migrated to America. But did it affect the decisions of colonists for war or peace, or their conduct in warfare, when confronted by the challenges of coexisting with native peoples and settlers of different European origins? The dissertation considers the question by examining the writings and choices of Puritan colonists in New England between 1630 and 1655. Beginning with a discussion of classical just war thought, it scrutinizes seventeenth-century pamphlets to demonstrate that many Puritan ministers possessed thorough knowledge of just war ideas. Subsequent chapters address historical events and developments such as the Pequot War (1636-37) and the intense rivalry between the Narragansett and Mohegan peoples that followed the conflict. They also address the formation of the United Colonies of New England in 1643, the subsequent tensions between this league of Puritan colonies and the Narragansetts, and the debate among its members regarding a potential assault upon New Netherland during the First Anglo-Dutch War (1652-1654). The analysis will also consider the relationship of just war thought to notions of justice and authority, and how questions regarding these concerns in early New England affected Puritan use of force. It will also examine the challenge of applying these Western notions with respect to culturally alien native peoples, and how the latter reacted to Puritan diplomacy and resorts to violence. These inquiries reveal that Puritan conduct in early New England had a mixed record by the standard of just war criteria. Fear and ignorance undermined attempts to abide by such principles prior to the Pequot War, which were clearly violated by the killings of hundreds of natives at Mystic in May 1637. After the war, Massachusetts Bay demonstrated a consistent record of trying to abide by just war tenets and avoid resort to hostilities, whereas the smaller Puritan colonies of Connecticut and New Haven were quick to call for force to address potential threats.

  • 'Kingly Government': English Law in Seventeenth-Century New York
    Item Type Thesis
    Author Jennifer Lee Jopp
    Abstract Richard Nicolls, New York's first English governor, "layd the foundations of Kingly Government" in the colony. For Nicolls and the duke of York, colonial governance demanded a province peopled with those "well affected" to the monarchy. As elsewhere throughout the empire, the result was something rather different than the monarchical stronghold that James envisioned, but his personal preferences affected profoundly New York's subsequent legal development. The Restoration compelled added attention to questions allegiance, sovereignty, and subjectship, both in England and throughout the empire. English political culture was steeped in law; men spoke of politics in legal terms and all sectors of the population were familiar with the legal system. A political culture in which jurisprudence played a central role shaped the extension of English law to the colonies. In the newly conquered territory of New York the restored monarchy faced the familiar problem of establishing authority over and garnering the allegiance of a population with mixed loyalties. The Dutch of New Netherland were, above all else, a variegated lot. The English people already living in the colony, who had gained a measure of autonomy under the Dutch, also came under certain compulsion to conform to prescribed cultural norms. The establishment of a court system and control over real property were the first two steps in this process and bespoke an effective use of law as an instrument of colonial political control. Supplementing and supporting this process was the additional use of English law as a means of transforming the colony's culture. The administration of oaths of allegiance and a redefinition of the basis for citizenship were two facets of a broader cultural transformation in the province. This process of cultural transformation supplemented and supported the structural changes in the law. Nicolls's successors were less successful than he and turbulence marks much of New York's history in the seventeenth century. The Dutch recapture of the colony, James's accession to the throne, the establishment of the Dominion of New England, the Glorious Revolution, Leisler's Rebellion and the return to royal rule in 1691 all had important implications for the law of the colony.

  • Knickerbocker Knowledge: Mapping Cultural Authority in the Literature of New York
    Item Type Thesis
    Author Elizabeth Lee Bradley
    Abstract In this dissertation I argue that the trope of the “Knickerbocker” has had a formative influence on the definition and development of New York literature and the particular cultural identity that such a literature portrays. Specifically, aspects of Washington Irving's fictional historian, Diedrich Knickerbocker, and his predecessors, can be traced throughout nineteenth- and early twentieth-century literary portraits of New York City and its inhabitants. These continuities over time and genre reflect an ongoing engagement with the idea and terms of cultural authenticity in the city, as well as an abiding interest by New York writers in participating in, as well as chronicling, the arbitrary delineation of “society” through their depiction of its manners, customs, tastes, and members. “Knickerbocker” is a term that has become historical shorthand in the 150 years since its inception: it is a metonym for an old-school, Dutch-descended, native New Yorker, and the qualities that may be attributed to such a person or culture. This study maps the invention and development of the landscape and iconography of Knickerbocker New York through the investigation of a spectrum of literary texts and artifacts of popular culture. Participating narratives in this project of urban self-definition and social circumscription include the writings of Washington Irving and James Kirke Paulding; mid-century literary magazines such as Knickerbocker Magazine and the Democratic Review; popular accounts of “gaslight” and “Upper Ten” Manhattan, including works from George Foster, Edgar Allan Poe, Benjamin Baker and Charles Astor Bristed; society newspapers and lists such as Town Topics and the Social Register ; etiquette manuals and advertisements; and the “Old New York” novels of Edith Wharton, including The House of Mirth, The Custom of the Country, and The Age of Innocence. The Knickerbocker genealogy compiled by this study demonstrates how Irving's fictional narrator came to be celebrated as a powerful cultural icon and co-opted as a repository of inherited tastes, enduring values, and correct social usage. Like his name, the society portrayed in Knickerbocker's mock-epic of colonial New York would come to possess a literary life of its own.

    Editor George Harinck
    Editor Hans Krabbendam
    Abstract Examines Washington Irving's representation of Dutch life in New York and the influence that Dutch literature and culture had on him by analyzing his 1809 novel 'A History of New York, by Diedrich Knickerbocker.' Irving relied on Dutch-language novels, historical records, his own personal experience, and the popular 1632 etiquette guide 'Speigel van den Ouden en Nieuwen,' to inform his treatment of Dutch culture. 'Knickerbocker' serves as a humorous account of colonial life but also as an accurate portrayal of Dutch colonial traditions, popular culture, and everyday life.

    Item Type Journal Article
    Author Simon Middleton
    Abstract The article discusses the legal history of colonial New York City (New Amsterdam), New York during the 17th century and the early 18th century, including the legal transition resulting from the change in Dutch to English imperial control of the city. The impact that New York City's merchants had on the city's legal practices, including in the formation of the Court of Burgomasters and Schepens and in regard to the role that the law played in serving local class interests, is discussed. An overview of New Amsterdam trade, including the role it putatively played as a source of civic and ethnic pride for Dutch merchants, is provided.

  • Leisler's Rebellion, 1689–1690: Being Dutch in Albany
    Item Type Journal Article
    Author Kees-Jan Waterman
    Abstract Reviews the historiography of the Leisler Rebellion, which has most historians concluding that all the Dutch of New York colony opposed an introduced English political dominance. A close analysis of the Dutch community in Albany, New York, reveals instead a divided Dutch polity contending over the old Dutch system and the newer English institutions. The Leisler Rebellion, an extension of the English "Glorious Revolution," was controlled by German-born Jacob Leisler acting as de facto governor. As played out in Albany and the Mohawk Valley during 1689-90, it was a struggle between defenders of the Dutch style of government and that of the centralizing English, with Leisler representing the Dutch-derived tradition. Despite Leisler's execution, some Dutch political and cultural traditions endured beyond 1690.

  • Leisler's Rebellion: Anglo-Dutch Imperial Politics in Seventeenth-Century New York
    Item Type Thesis
    Author Megan Lindsay Cherry
    Abstract This dissertation explains the origins and consequences of a rebellion that shook New York from 1689 to 1691, and reveals why its legacy continued to shape New York politics for the next three decades. The majority of colonists in New York supported the uprising, which stripped the ruling elite of their power and instituted a new local government. Previous scholarship has portrayed the rebellion as an ethnic, class, or religious conflict. My work shows that Leisler's Rebellion was an ideological uprising that had deep roots in contemporary political developments in England and the Netherlands. Colonists in New York drew upon political ideologies from both countries to support their vision of how to govern the colony, and what New York's proper role was within the British Empire. By looking at both the leaders and the rank-and-file of the uprising, my manuscript explains the rebellion and its impact while placing it in its Atlantic context. My research seeks to place politics and ideology back into Atlantic history. While Atlantic history primarily focuses on the movements of people and goods across the ocean, my manuscript demonstrates that ideologies had a profound impact on both sides of the Atlantic. Moreover, my research shows that the politics of colonial America cannot be understood in a vacuum; early American politics drew upon and were shaped by ideas and events that originated in multiple sites in England, in continental Europe, and in North America.

  • Liberty in New Amsterdam: A Sailor's Life in Early New York
    Item Type Journal Article
    Author Morton Wagman
    Abstract Authorities in New Amsterdam imposed restrictions on seamen who were believed to disturb law and order while on shore. The Dutch West India Company protected its monopoly rights by prohibiting sailors from selling duty-free goods from their own sea chests, thereby ending in New Amsterdam a very old custom of the sea. Seamen employed by the Dutch West India Company were required to do extra work while in port and were subject to impressment into military service. Nevertheless, their rights and privileges were protected by courts in New Amsterdam, especially in wage disputes. Many seamen made New Netherland their home. A few became rich burghers in New Amsterdam, but most were plain folk in the city.

  • Like a Child in their Debt, and Consequently their Slave? Power Structures in the Commercial Circuits of a Colonial Agro-System near New York around 1675
    Item Type Thesis
    Author Rogier Van Kooten
    Abstract This research is about circuits and networks in the interior regions of New York, where settlers exchanged goods and services. The type of products and the way those products were exchanged, appears to have been strongly dependent on the socio-economic context. Research in the Low Countries has shown that the emergence of a certain type of agricultural system is closely associated with several factors, such as land tenure, distribution of landownership, company structure and ecology.4 Within the agricultural system these factors also influence commercial relations between households, the way surpluses are brought to markets and which products and services are traded.5 However, the seventeenth century situation in the Low Countries was very different from the situation in the North American colony of New Netherland.

    Item Type Journal Article
    Author Langdon G. Wright
    Abstract A study of local government is the basis for comparison of popular participation and autonomy in Dutch and English colonial towns. Town patents were not identical, but all contained strict regulations concerning landowning and local government. The governor and council dominated, but even the autocratic Peter Stuyvesant gave the towns some freedom. Local government in New Netherland is best explained in terms of the "undefined and unstable balance" between the governor and local units. Based on colonial records; 2 illus., 45 notes.

  • Manhattan in Maps 1527-2014
    Item Type Book
    Author Paul E. Cohen
    Author Robert T. Augustyn
    Abstract More than 400 years of history unfold in the pages of this lavishly illustrated volume, which presents sixty-five full-color maps of America's oldest major city. This is Manhattan's first atlas of historical maps, gathered from private collections and libraries throughout the world. From Giovanni da Verrazzano's first glimpse of New York Harbor in the sixteenth century to a modern aerial survey of the island, these rare and beautiful maps recount the city's urban and social history.Each map is accompanied by a fascinating essay that explores its portrait of New York's changing physical and social contours. Examples from the Dutch colonial period reflect the findings of Manhattan's earliest European settlers. New York was the command center for British forces during the Revolution, and wartime maps painstakingly delineate the battleground's streams, swamps, hills, and shoreline. Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux's original plan for Central Park appears here, along with charts that reveal the development of the Manhattan grid as well as the expansion of ethnic neighborhoods, midtown vice, and the subway system. Each entry cites the map's title, date of creation and publication, cartographer, medium, and the institution or private collection where the map is archived. There is a Foreword by Tony Hiss, a bibliography, and complete index, as well as a new Introduction by Marguerite Holloway, author of The Measure of Manhattan (2013), and an essay by landscape ecologist Eric W. Sanderson, which includes a map by Mr. Sanderson and cartographer Markley Boyer providing a view of Manhattan Island as Henry Hudson might have seen it in 1609. "Here then is the story of Manhattan as it was, as it is, and even as it might have been. Maps tell the story. All the output of all the journalists who have written about Manhattan does not succeed half as well."—Ted Koppel, former managing editor and anchor, Nightline"Manhattan in Maps enables us all to look through layers of time and concrete to the ground of life in this city through over three centuries. . . . an invaluable visual guide to New York City history."—Alice C.

  • Mannahatta: A Natural History of New York City
    Item Type Book
    Author Eric W. Sanderson
    Contributor Markley Boyer
    Abstract "Sanderson and Boyer invite you to imagine what Manhattan would have looked like to its early explorers; before the skyscrapers, before the crowded sidewalks and the busy intersections of avenues and streets. On the pages of Mannahatta: A Natural History of New York City, Sanderson and Boyer take readers on a journey of imagination by geographically matching, or georeferencing, a historical British Headquarts map with a map of modern Manhattan. In addition, Sanderson examined volumes of historical documents and journals and was able to visually reconstruct, down to the city block, what Manhattan looked like four hundred years ago; from the forests of Times Square, to the wetlands of downtown, the meadows of Harlem and the Upper West Side, and the nomadic tribe settlements of Chinatown and the Upper East Side. Although the lush forests, rolling hills, and flowing streams have long disappeared, Mannahatta: A Natural History of New York City brings this wild island of Henry Hudson's era to life through insightful text, maps, illustrations and computer visualisations. Mannahatta: A Natural History of New York City is not only a view of the past, but also an inspiration for a new vision of the future."--Publisher's description.

    Abstract Commemorating the 400th anniversary of Henry Hudson’s voyage and the lasting legacy of Dutch culture in New York, this book explores the life and times of a fascinating woman, her family, and her things. Margrieta was born in the Netherlands but lived at the extremes of the Dutch colonial world, in Malacca on the Malay Peninsula and in Flatbush, Brooklyn. When she came to New York in 1686 with her husband and set up a shop, she brought an astonishing array of Eastern goods, many of which were documented in an inventory made after her death in 1695. Extensive archival research has enabled a collaborative team to reconstruct her story and establish the depth of her connection to Dutch trading establishments in Asia. This is a groundbreaking contribution to the histories of New York City, the Dutch overseas empire, women, and material culture.

  • Merging the Two Streams of Migration to New Netherland
    Item Type Journal Article
    Author Joyce D. Goodfriend
    Abstract This historiographical article discusses the migration of Europeans, mainly Dutch, and enslaved Africans to the Dutch colony of New Netherland (modern-day New York State) throughout the 17th century. The author is primarily concerned with incorporating the history of enslaved peoples into the wider story of European colonization in North America, thereby subverting popular understandings of early-American history related to the economic success of European migrants. The increased knowledge of Dutch involvement in the slave trade among both U.S. and Dutch historians is explored. Other topics discussed include the impact of the Dutch slave trade in the Northern U.S., the demographic characteristics of African slaves, and the cultural diversity of New Netherland.

  • "Mine Is Better Than Ours": Natives, Settlers, and Conflict Over Land in New Netherland
    Item Type Thesis
    Author Susan Wood Goodall
    Abstract This thesis examines the tumultuous relationship between Dutch settlers and native peoples in New Netherland by examining the root causes leading to four instances of settler/native conflict between 1643 and 1664. These conflicts Kieft's War in 1643, the Peach War in 1655, and the Esopus Wars of 1659 and 1663--illustrate the problematic nature of Native American and Dutch relations in the late years of New Netherland. This thesis argues that violent conflict stemmed primarily from the population expansion and the subsequent settler hunger for land for agricultural use. The native group studied is the Lenape--a group of Algonquians who lived in the areas of what is today Delaware, New Jersey, and southeastern New York--who had become sedentary agriculturalists with territorial claims to lands that were attractive to Dutch settlers. This thesis focuses in part on the Esopus region, a Dutch settlement on the Hudson River, as an example of how land became an issue for both natives and settlers alike. By synthesizing various historiographies of New Netherland, this thesis illustrates the progression of expanding settlement to outright war.

  • Moederkerk and Vaderland: Religion and ethnic identity in the Middle Colonies, 1690–1772
    Item Type Thesis
    Author Dirk Edward Mouw
    Abstract This dissertation contributes to a conversation about what one scholar has aptly described as one of the "well-established stereotypes" of scholarship on the Dutch in British North America: that British ecclesiastical and colonial officials, the waves of Anglophones disembarking in the Middle Colonies and the Great Awakening succeeded quickly in eviscerating Dutch religion, identity and culture after the British conquest of 1664. An examination of the numbers of congregations, ministers and nearly 165,000 ecclesiastical events demonstrates that the Dutch Reformed congregations of British America grew in number and size during the eighteenth century. As they did, so too did the desire and ability of the laity to conform more closely in their American context with common practice in the Vaderland. No longer constrained to accept ministerial appointments from the Classis of Amsterdam, the colonists creatively found the means to put their own imprints on the process for recruiting ministers, even though geography prevented them from doing so in precisely the same way that a congregation in the Netherlands might. Able more fully to influence decisions concerning the men who would serve them as ministers, they expressed a range of preferences of theological style within the continuum of Dutch Calvinist orthodoxy. As they quarreled over church government after midcentury, they expressed two different approaches to being faithful to the principles and traditions of the Moederkerk. One advocated retention of the arrangement established under Dutch West India Company rule. The other argued that that tradition was more episcopal than Dutch Reformed. The latter group advocated a structure of ecclesiastical governance more in keeping with the order set forth by the Dutch national Synod of Dordrecht of 1618-1619. In their ecclesiastical behavior and attitudes Dutch colonists consistently—even increasingly—attempted to be loyal and faithful to the Moederkerk, in a British colony thousands of miles from the Vaderland and where they were more and more just a minority. They were, however, a minority eager and able to express their Dutch identity in certain ways even more fully than their parents and grandparents had.

  • Mohawk Frontier: The Dutch Community of Schenectady, New York, 1661-1710
    Item Type Book
    Author Thomas E Burke
    Abstract Founded on the banks of the Mohawk River, Schenectady was a small community, but in many respects its history mirrors much of the contemporary history of New Netherland and New York. In delineating the details of the village's political, social, and economic life, Mohawk Frontier illuminates a larger picture as well. Thomas E. Burke, Jr., explores Schenectady's origins and its destruction in 1690, placing them in a broad context of Anglo-Dutch, Dutch-French, and Anglo-French relations extending back over the previous quarter century. In addition, he analyzes the contending political factions in the village during the period, both in their local setting and in relation to the provincewide schism that surrounded Leisler's Rebellion (1689-1691). Burke focuses primarily on the Dutch residents, suggesting that until 1710 the community's institutions remained largely in the control of individuals and families who had settled in the colony before the English conquest of 1664. But he also tells the story of the Indian men, women, and children, French coureurs de bois, African slaves, and, from the 1690s onward, English soldiers and settlers who visited, lived in, or were garrisoned at the village. . Mohawk Frontier should find a ready audience among historians of early American communities and those interested in frontier settlement, the fur trade, Indian relations, and the transformation of Dutch New Netherland into English-ruled New York.

  • Mohawk Iroquois Populations: A Revision
    Item Type Journal Article
    Author William A. Starna
    Abstract Traditional estimates of Five-Nation Iroquois populations are inaccurate and require revision. From examining ethnohistorical, ethnological, and archaeological sources on the Mohawk Iroquois, develops a method for estimating both pre- and postepidemic populations. The result is population estimates greater than previously thought.

  • Mohawk Reinvention of the Fort Orange and Albany Courthouses, 1652–77
    Item Type Journal Article
    Author Holly A. Rine
    Abstract This article analyzes the process of how Albany came to stand as a center of Anglo-Indian relations in the seventeenth century. Through the understanding of the diverse and changing geographical interpretations of particular places and spaces, this paper analyzes Iroquois, Dutch and English understandings of significance and uses of the Fort Orange, later Albany, courthouse to demonstrate how the Iroquois, Mohawks in particular, were able to both function within and contribute to the reinvention of this quintessential European institution to suit their own diplomatic purposes. Through understanding varying interpretations of the court as a diplomatically significant place, we gain a clearer understanding of the role of Native peoples in the creation of this cross-cultural courthouse as it became 'the only appointed and prefixed place' of the Covenant Chain of Alliance between the Iroquois and English in 1677.

    Author Karin Vaneker
    Abstract From 1624 until 1674, New Netherland was a colony of the Dutch Republic (1581-1795). The territory on the east coast of North America attracted a stream of immigrants that brought with them foodways and cooking skills from the Dutch provinces. Fbr generations, the settlers engaged in the preparation and consumption of home-country foods, such as hoofdkaas (headcheese, brawn or souse), puffert (a boiled or steamed pudding), New Year's cake, wafels (waffles and wafers) and oliebol (Dutch doughnut). After the Dutch introduction of tea in America, in the 1650s, a "genuine" Dutch tea table developed. This article explores recipes that reflect the migration of humble Dutch fare to America, and discusses the Dutch tea table as a typical Dutch American food custom, and an example of social distinction and upwards mobility.

  • National Subjects in a Contested Colonial Space: Allegiance, Ethnicity, and Authority in the Seventeenth-Century Delaware Valley
    Item Type Thesis
    Author Mark Lloyd Thompson
    Abstract Between 1609 and 1682, many different sets of authorities sought to assert control over the Delaware Valley. Among others, agents representing the colonial regimes of New Netherland, New Sweden, New Haven, New Albion, New Amstel, New York, New Jersey, Maryland, and Pennsylvania declared their jurisdiction in the territory. Colonial officials, in turn, represented and drew their authority from sovereign governments in England, the United Provinces of the Netherlands, and Sweden. This study examines how the imperial contest for the Delaware Valley shaped national identities. In particular, the study examines disputes over allegiance, nationality, and jurisdiction, and it looks closely at the ways officials and alien subjects negotiated their relationship in newly-established political communities. The goal of exploring these episodes is to articulate how individuals conceived of ethnic and imperial relationships that connected colonists to one another and to sovereigns, states, and peoples in Europe, but also differentiated them from their neighbors (European and Indian) and even some members of their own communities. More generally, the purpose of the study is to investigate what belonging to a “nation” meant to Europeans in the early modern Atlantic world. The study argues that officials and settlers in the seventeenth-century Delaware Valley commonly conceived of subjecthood and peoplehood as related statuses and depicted individuals, communities, and sovereigns as participants in a cultural and political collectivity called a “nation.” This flexible yet ultimately persistent form of identification as “national subjects”—as subjects of a sovereign, and members of a people—figured prominently in social and political relations within the contested space of the Delaware Valley until the 1670s. While acknowledging that various cosmopolitan, transnational, and inter-state forms of behavior were resilient and prolific, the study concludes that the discourses undergirding such relationships ultimately proved incapable of displacing the discourses of national rivalry so central to the competition over the Delaware Valley. When this competition ended in the 1670s, however, the main axes of identification shifted. Questions of allegiance were no longer so vital, and ethnic and religious identifications soon subsumed the national identities that were so prominent earlier in the century.

  • Native-Colonial Diplomatic Relations in Early New York, 1664–1714
    Item Type Thesis
    Author Tom Arne Midtrod
    Abstract The thesis examines diplomatic relations between New York province and its native neighbors (especially the Five Nations) during the years 1664–1714. It examines the roles played by provincial governors, the magistrates of Albany (and the later commissioners for Indian affairs), and interpreters and negotiators in the field. It seeks to determine the social and cultural backgrounds of those involved in the management of relations with the natives. The thesis also discusses whether diplomatic relations between natives and colonists in early colonial New York were characterized by mutual accommodation and compromise, or by one side refusing to compromise, unilaterally seeking to impose its will upon the other. It briefly compares early New York to the findings of other researchers focusing on Canada and Pennsylvania.

  • Negotiating Settlement: Colonialism, Cultural Exchange, and Conflict in Early Colonial Atlantic North America, 1580-1660
    Item Type Thesis
    Author Cynthia Jean Van Zandt
    Abstract This study focuses on contacts between and among English, Dutch, and Swedish colonists, Native Americans and Diaspora Africans along the Atlantic Coast. It explores some of the earliest roots of multi-ethnic contact and exchange in colonial North America and argues that contestation and cross-cultural relationships played a crucially important role in shaping peoples' experiences, as well as their understanding of those experiences. Because power shifted often, and no one held power unopposed or for long, cross-cultural and inter-colonial contacts were more extensive and more important than we have understood in shaping the early colonial world. Using insights from the history of cartography and cultural geography, the study explores mapping as a tool of cross-cultural communication and contestation. It considers mapping literally as geographical map-making, and metaphorically as a means of conceptualizing and organizing relationships between cultures. The study also examines several powerful multi-ethnic and cross-cultural alliances and argues that Native Americans experimented with colonial forms during this early period, before European colonies were firmly and permanently established, and it also examines conflict among Europeans for colonial territory and over competing visions of colonialism. Furthermore, "Negotiating Settlement" argues that Africans were able to create a diaspora community and to challenge colonial authority in New Netherland in limited though important ways despite conditions of enslavement. Historians have traditionally divided Atlantic North America into three distinct regions: the Chesapeake, the Mid-Atlantic, and New England, and most studies focus on only one colony or region. However, interactions which were not contained within the boundaries of a single colony or region too often fall out of the picture in studies with a narrower field of focus. Thus, "Negotiating Settlement" ranges from the Chesapeake to New England and includes areas within each of these traditional regions. Moreover, the extent of contestation emerges more fully not only when we erase the anachronistic territorial boundaries imposed on the early colonial era by historians, but also when we include peoples who have been relegated to the margins in studies limited by the boundaries of traditional American historiography.

  • New Netherland and the Dutch Origins of American Religious Liberty
    Item Type Book
    Author Evan Haefeli
    Abstract The settlers of New Netherland were obligated to uphold religious toleration as a legal right by the Dutch Republic's founding document, the 1579 Union of Utrecht, which stated that "everyone shall remain free in religion and that no one may be persecuted or investigated because of religion." For early American historians this statement, unique in the world at its time, lies at the root of American pluralism.New Netherland and the Dutch Origins of American Religious Liberty offers a new reading of the way tolerance operated in colonial America. Using sources in several languages and looking at laws and ideas as well as their enforcement and resistance, Evan Haefeli shows that, although tolerance as a general principle was respected in the colony, there was a pronounced struggle against it in practice. Crucial to the fate of New Netherland were the changing religious and political dynamics within the English empire. In the end, Haefeli argues, the most crucial factor in laying the groundwork for religious tolerance in colonial America was less what the Dutch did than their loss of the region to the English at a moment when the English were unusually open to religious tolerance. This legacy, often overlooked, turns out to be critical to the history of American religious diversity.By setting Dutch America within its broader imperial context, New Netherland and the Dutch Origins of American Religious Liberty offers a comprehensive and nuanced history of a conflict integral to the histories of the Dutch republic, early America, and religious tolerance.

    Abstract "Romney locates the foundations of the early modern Dutch empire in interpersonal transactions among women and men. As West India Company ships began sailing westward in the early seventeenth century, soldiers, sailors, and settlers drew on kin and social relationships to function within an Atlantic economy and the nascent colony of New Netherland. In the greater Hudson Valley, Dutch newcomers, Native American residents, and enslaved Africans wove a series of intimate networks that reached from the West India Company slave house on Manhattan, to the Haudenosaunee longhouses along the Mohawk River, to the inns and alleys of maritime Amsterdam. This work pioneers a new understanding of the development of early modern empire as arising out of personal ties"--

  • New Netherland Frontier: Europeans and Native Americans Along the Lower Hudson River, 1524-1664
    Item Type Thesis
    Author Paul Andrew Otto
    Abstract This dissertation utilizes a frontier model to explore intercultural relations along the lower Hudson River in the seventeenth century. It defines the frontier as a zone of cross-cultural interaction and adopts a South African model which divides the frontier into succeeding and overlapping stages of contact based upon the changing nature of the European groups who intruded into the territory of the indigenous South African peoples. The New Netherland frontier opened when Europeans first explored the lower Hudson River and came into contact with the Munsee-speaking Lenape people who lived there. This contact evolved into a trade relationship between Dutch sailors and captains and the Indians. Eventually, the Dutch West India Company acquired New Netherland as part of its charter and established a settler community in the lower Hudson River region leading to successive phases of the frontier. Throughout this process, the participants of the Dutch-Munsee frontier were guided by their own culture and worldview. Over time, the realities of living with a culturally-distinct people increasingly taught members of both groups that they could not rely solely on their traditional understanding of the world to direct them. In order to survive the experience of the frontier, both sides had to accommodate to the beliefs and practices of the other group, but the Native Americans did so to a greater degree than the Dutch. In addition, this process of accommodation developed spatially as well as temporally. As the European population increased in New Netherland, the whites expanded outward from Manhattan Island bringing them in closer contact with Munsee people who previously had been isolated from the Dutch. As a result, those Indians on the fringes of the frontier experienced the succeeding stages of intercultural relations at a different rate from those who encountered the Dutch from earliest contact.

    Item Type Book
    Author Firth Haring Fabend
    Abstract "For anyone seeking to answer the question, 'What was New Netherland?' this little volume is a richly packed resource. It gives you the background, the actors, the action, and the legacy. In clear prose, it covers a lot of history in a few pages." Russell Shorto, author of The Island at the Center of the World Charles Gehring, Director, New Netherland Research Center says"the title of this work conjures up an elusive aspiration, which is difficult to approach and seldom achieved: conciseness. Simply said, one of the most challenging tasks to ask of a historian is that she expound on a subject dear to her heart but with brevity. Few succeed. New Netherland in a Nutshell is an exception. Brevity, however, was not the only parameter. It also had to be written in a style accessible to young adults, be comprehensivein content, and factually correct. Firth Fabend has been able to put all of the above together without sacrificing one for the other. The story of New Netherland is told in a highly readable fashion suitable for anyone unfamiliar with this important chapter in U.S. colonial history. From the exploration of Henry Hudson in 1609 to the final transfer of the Dutch colony to the English in 1674, the work introduces key aspects of New Netherland: the multicultural makeup of the population, the privatization of colonization, the ability to survive with meager means against overwhelming odds, and the transfer of distinctive Dutch traits, such as toleration, free trade, and social mobility, all of which persisted long after New Netherland became New York, New Jersey, Delaware, and parts of Connecticut and Pennsylvania. This book will satisfy the questions: who were the Dutch, why did they come, and what did they do once they got here? This unique episode in our history will no longer be "a secret" but finally available to a wide audience."

  • New Netherlands, Archival Deficiency, and Contesting New York History in the Antebellum U.S
    Item Type Journal Article
    Author Derek Kane O’Leary
    Abstract In nineteenth-century New York, the collection, translation, and republication of documents related to colonial Dutch history was about more than antiquarianism or the ethno-centrism of Dutch-descended Americans. With the unprecedented support of the state of New York and U.S. ministers in Europe, the New York Historical Society (NYHS) orchestrated a much more ambitious project to reinscribe Dutch imperialism within a grander narrative of the state. This, they hoped, would situate New York at the centre of national history, and its archive as the nation’s most important historical record. In doing so, the stewards of the state’s archives and history worked to displace the burlesque rendition of New York’s past popularized by Washington Irving, in favor of a unified, progressive, celebratory narrative.

    Abstract Examines Washington Irving's representation of Dutch life in New York and the influence that Dutch literature and culture had on him by analyzing his 1809 novel 'A History of New York, by Diedrich Knickerbocker.' Irving relied on Dutch-language novels, historical records, his own personal experience, and the popular 1632 etiquette guide 'Speigel van den Ouden en Nieuwen,' to inform his treatment of Dutch culture. 'Knickerbocker' serves as a humorous account of colonial life but also as an accurate portrayal of Dutch colonial traditions, popular culture, and everyday life.

  • Nieu Amsterdam: A Copper Engraving from the Seventeenth Century
    Item Type Journal Article
    Author Firth Haring Fabend
    Abstract Analyzes the representation of New Amsterdam in an anonymous copper engraving of the colony from the 1650's. Although the engraving provides much information on the organization of New Amsterdam after Adrian Van der Donk's 'Remonstrance of New Netherland' of 1649, it is likely that the artist had never visited the colony and based the work on a drawing of the city known as the "Albertina View." The engraving exaggerates the prosperity of New Amsterdam and emphasizes that the colonists enjoyed the rights and privileges of Dutch citizens as well as the protection of the Dutch Reformed Church and was thus probably designed to attract settlers.

  • Nieuw Amsterdam: Nordmenn i det Hollandske Amerika, 1624-1674
    Item Type Book
    Author Frans-Arne Stylegar
    Abstract Før New York fantes Nieuw Amsterdam, og i den nederlandske kolonien hadde en hel del nordmenn gjort amerikanere av seg? to hundre år før det som gjerne regnes som begynnelsen på den norske utvandringen til Amerika, og mens Trettiårskrigen raste i Europa. Nieuw Amsterdam var en by av minoriteter i like stor grad som New York ble det senere. I den lille, men blomstrende byen handlet man og kranglet man på dusinvis av tungemål, og religion stod mot religion. Kort sagt: Nieuw Amsterdam var en flerkulturell kakafoni der der det også fantes norske stemmer. Nieuw Amsterdams første jordmor var norsk, og gjennom sine to døtre, Anneke og Marritje Jans, ble Trijntje Jonas stammor til så å si hele New Yorks borgerskap hundre år senere.

  • Old Slip and Cruger's Wharf at New York: An Archaeological Perspective of the Colonial American Waterfront
    Item Type Journal Article
    Author Paul R. Huey
    Abstract In 1969 the removal of an entire block of filled land adjacent to Old Slip in Manhattan during construction of a new building revealed a sequence of soil deposits dating from about 1690 to 1800. Sampling of these soil layers indicated deposition during successive periods of land filling in the area, before and after the construction of Cruger's Wharf at this location in 1739 and 1740. Old Slip provides an example of a type of Dutch-influenced waterfront development beginning in the late 17th century that contrasts with development of the waterfront in Boston, Philadelphia, and other cities initially settled by the English. Colonial American city waterfront development differed distinctively, on the other hand, from English precedents.

  • On First Contact and Apotheosis: Manitou and Men in North America
    Item Type Journal Article
    Author Evan Haefeli
    Abstract Typical interpretations of first contact between indigenous people and Europeans have described how native peoples perceived the newcomers as gods and were subsequently disenchanted. A close study of accounts of Henry Hudson's 1609 journey up the Hudson River shows that this is a misinterpretation based on misunderstanding the native term "Manitou." Europeans, viewing the term through the lens of Christianity and their desire to justify their actions, believed they were being perceived as divine. Native Americans, however, accepted the arrival of Europeans within their own understanding of the world. For them, "Manitou" did not differentiate between god and human but suggested power and, sometimes, danger.

  • Ordinary People in the New World: The City of Amsterdam, Colonial Policy, and Initiatives from Below, 1656–1664

    Abstract Between 1656 and 1664 the City of Amsterdam, uniquely, possessed a “City Colony” in the Dutch colony of New Netherland. Called New Amstel, this fledgling colony on the South River—the current Delaware—for a brief time cemented the commitment of Amsterdam to the preservation of the Dutch colony in New Netherland, perpetually—and fatally—under threat from English encroachment. Born out of the anxiety of the Dutch West India Company, which saw the numbers of English settlers swell each year, the City of Amsterdam was persuaded to undertake the settlement of the shores of the Delaware river. There, Dutch settlers were few and far between, and were surpassed in numbers by Swedes and Finns. After the difficult early years, the colonization gained momentum after 1660, and the settlement increased considerably until the English invasion in October 1664 put an end to the Dutch colony. Amsterdam turned to other colonial endeavors with less inhibitions and more chance of success, for example, the rich sugar-producing plantations of Guyana. The memory of the unique experiment of the short-lived City Colony quickly faded.

  • Past, present, and future: History and memory in New York City, 1800–1860
    Item Type Thesis
    Author Jennifer Erga Steenshorne
    Abstract The first half of the nineteenth century saw New York City rise from a relatively small city to the largest metropolis in North America. The changes which affected the United States, from economic to demographic to cultural, appeared first in New York. New York City was a place of change and progress. At the same time, a new concern with the history of the City and concern with preservation arose. This study will examine how the need to balance preservation with change, the need to create an identity for New York, and the need to set New York's place in the nation, were explored in the early historical discourse surrounding New York, from formal chronicles to acts of preservation. I have examined the preservation and publication efforts of the New-York Historical Society, Washington Irving's Knickerbocker History and its affect on New York's culture, local histories of New York City and State, and the controversies surrounding the removal of New York City's burial grounds in order to explore these issues. The attempt of the New-York Historical Society to act as custodians of the City's history raises the question of just whose history was to be preserved. Washington Irving's works brought the Dutch history of New York to life for many of its citizens more vividly than any archive, and introduced the Knickerbocker character as a New York type. Local histories of New York City and State explored the relationship between regions and the nation as a whole. The efforts of New Yorkers to deal with the removal of burial grounds from New York City's boundaries show how important the past, particularly the personal past, was to New Yorkers of all classes and ethnicities. Themes of civic memory, the relationship between public and private, ideas of a usable past, and the relationship between myth and history run throughout this material. The historical discourse surrounding the New York of today was shaped by the historical discourse of the early nineteenth century.

    Author A. Th. Van Deursen
    Abstract This is an account of the ordinary working people of Holland in the seventeenth-century, the so-called 'golden age'. Professor van Deursen is the most outstanding and gifted scholar at present working on this period of Dutch history. His history 'from below' is based on a mass of contemporary documentary evidence and the text is enlivened by contemporary illustrations. Ranging over a broad spectrum of everyday conditions, sex, marriage, leisure, religion and popular culture, this is the most comprehensive study yet published of the plain lives of a 'golden age'.

    Item Type Book
    Author Donna Merwick
    Abstract This book reconstructs the manifold ways by which Dutch people of seventeenth-century New York took hold of the New World. As the author reminds us, the Dutch understood themselves to be republican, urban, mobile, mercantile, and amphibious; in short, properly Dutch. She shows how the Dutch possessed the land, traded over it, surrendered it to the English, and then lived out their lives balancing a "gaze" that the conquerors had for land against their own.

  • Possessions: The History and Uses of Haunting in the Hudson Valley
    Item Type Thesis
    Author Judith Ann Richardson
    Abstract Over the past two centuries, the Hudson River Valley has developed a reputation as a haunted place: claims of exceptional ghostliness and ghosts of all shades abound in regional guidebooks, histories, literature, and folklore. Why should this region, historically a place of rapid social change, adjacent to the largest city in the United States, gain a reputation for such uncommon hauntedness? The haunting of the Hudson Valley is in fact intimately tied to the social, cultural, and political layerings and discontinuities created by the region's restless history. This dissertation explores hauntings in Hudson Valley writings, folklore, and practice as they intersect with social, cultural, economic, and physical history, from the early nineteenth to the late twentieth century. Chapter one asks how the region has come into its hauntedness, offering introductory overviews of geography, history, and cultural influences. Chapter two looks at Washington Irving's Hudson Valley stories, both as instances exemplifying a confluence of landscape, history, and aesthetics in the early nineteenth century, and as influences in subsequent regional imaginings. Chapters three and four look at who and what haunt regional stories, examining storytellers and contexts along with ghosts. Chapter three traces the evolution of a single haunting over two centuries, exposing how different concerns and agendas animate local ghost stories, and suggesting a deeper, productive ambivalence within ghostliness, which seems to erupt from an unappeased past, but also allows for invention and interpretation. Chapter four examines the period from approximately 1870 to 1930, identifying three predominant categories of haunting in the region in these decades—“aboriginal” hauntings involving Indian and Dutch presences, Revolutionary War hauntings, and industrial hauntings-and exploring how these hauntings operated in battles over regional character linked to accelerated industrialization, urbanization, and immigration. The final chapter focuses on real life consequences of hauntedness in the region, what I call a politics of possession. A study of Maxwell Anderson's 1937 play, High Tor, this chapter examines the mid-twentieth century institutionalization of hauntedness through conservation and preservation, and uncovers an underlying cultural politics, in which very different ideas of the regional past contend for territory. An epilogue on T. Coraghessan Boyle's 1987 novel, World's End, reinforces the continued significance of haunting in the region. Regionally focused, this dissertation has wide implications, both because the Hudson Valley occupies a prominent place in American history and cultural iconography, and because it represents in microcosm problems of belonging and possessing which haunt the country more broadly.

    Item Type Journal Article
    Author Janny Venema
    Abstract The study of an account of a poor fund for Albany, New York (a settlement that was then a part of New Netherland and called Beverwijck) that dates from 1652-64 shows that the deacons of the Dutch Reformed Church exhibited substantial benevolence toward the poor by donating much money to them. In so doing they followed the practices established in the Old World that emphasized voluntary efforts, but in a frugal manner that required the indigent to first exhaust their own resources.

    Item Type Journal Article
    Author Oliver A. Rink
    Abstract In New Netherland between 1624 and 1664 an almost constant friction existed between the West India Company, which founded the colony, and the provincial Dutch Reformed Church. The disputes centered around four issues: economic support for the church, the role of the church among the Indians, the role of the clergy in colonial governance, and the enforcement of orthodoxy. The secular policies of the colony's directors, who displayed a primary concern with profits, ran counter to the church's desire for religious homogeneity and contributed to the creation of a diverse society.

  • Quakerism on Long Island: The First Fifty Years, 1657-1707
    Item Type Thesis
    Author Mildred Murphy DeRiggi
    Abstract This dissertation examines the first fifty years of Quakerism on Long Island, 1657-1707, and maintains that these years witnessed the transformation of a radical, mystical sect holding heterodox beliefs and living on a politically divided island into a religious organization within a unified English colony. Studying a community that predates Pennsylvania, provides insight into the reason for Quaker success proselytizing at a time when authorities still considered Quakers a threat to the social order. One can study on Long Island in microcosm a process repeated throughout the Atlantic world in which Quakers discarded radicalism, institutionalized their movement and took legalism as a paradigm, accepting a role within society and demanding rights as citizens. One can also perceive a continuing tradition of radicalism among individuals who emphasized direct revelation of truth. The dissertation is organized in four parts. The first considers the English background of Quakerism and Friends' success in gaining the allegiance of settlers on western Long Island holding radical sectarian views. Part Two treats political consolidation and religious development, examining the impact of the English conquest of New Netherland and Quaker efforts at organization. It focuses on George Fox's visit and resistance to the new discipline. Part Three describes the experience of Long Island Quakers and the role of women. The final section examines the impact of the Keithian schism, maintaining that the establishment of New York Yearly Meeting in 1695 was an effort to consolidate and rebuild Long Island Quakerism.

  • Quebec and New Amsterdam to 1664: A Comparative Network Analysis
    Item Type Thesis
    Author Daniel J. Weeks
    Abstract This study examines the techniques by which the French and Dutch secured preliminary information about the New World, claimed possession of territory in North America, and developed policies to secure possession against European competitors. It traces the development of French and Dutch colonial networks with an eye toward understanding the intentions of the colonizing powers. Finally, this study analyzes the dominant and significant flows of people, ideas, and goods along the colonial networks of the New France and New Netherland in order to map the interconnections of these colonies with the larger world. Tracing these flows reveals that the networks to which Quebec and New Amsterdam belonged were actually quite different, even though the dominant outflow—furs—was the same. The thesis of the dissertation is that for reasons related to European politics, French and Dutch policymakers adopted the principle that settlement was the only legal and practical means of possessing territory in the Americas and that it was the intention of the respective metropolitan governments to create agriculturally based settlement colonies in New France and New Netherland. Moreover, this study proposes that because of competition from other European nations, “linear” trading-post colonies were too weak to survive in North America, not only because they could not defend themselves, but also because they were not self-sustaining and did not become markets for manufactured goods from the metropole. This dissertation also asserts that although both New France and New Netherland made strides toward developing agriculturally based settlement colonies, the Dutch succeeded far better than the French because, as a node on a diffuse network, New Amsterdam was better able to attract settlers and connect to a wider range of markets than Quebec, which was more or less a node on a specific network. Finally, this study demonstrates that while both Quebec and New Amsterdam began to make the transition from simple primate centers on extractive dendritic/solar networks to gateway centers on more complex networks, New Amsterdam was far more advanced in this process and was rapidly facilitating the production of a new network of towns in its immediate hinterlands.

  • Realm Between Empires: The Second Dutch Atlantic, 1680–1815
    Item Type Book
    Author Wim Klooster
    Author Gert Oostindie
    Abstract Wim Klooster and Gert Oostindie present a fresh look at the Dutch Atlantic in the period following the imperial moment of the seventeenth century. This epoch (1680–1815), the authors argue, marked a distinct and significant era in which Dutch military power declined and Dutch colonies began to chart a more autonomous path.The loss of Brazil and New Netherland were twin blows to Dutch imperial pretensions. Yet the Dutch Atlantic hardly faded into insignificance. Instead, the influence of the Dutch remained, as they were increasingly drawn into the imperial systems of Britain, Spain, and France. In their synthetic and comparative history, Klooster and Oostindie reveal the fragmented identity and interconnectedness of the Dutch in three Atlantic theaters: West Africa, Guiana, and the insular Caribbean. They show that the colonies and trading posts were heterogeneous in their governance, religious profiles, and ethnic compositions and were marked by creolization. Even as colonial control weakened, the imprint of Dutch political, economic, and cultural authority would mark territories around the Atlantic for decades to come.Realm between Empires is a powerful revisionist history of the eighteenth-century Atlantic world and provides a much-needed counterpoint to the more widely known British and French Atlantic histories.

  • Reassessing American Frontier Theory: Culture, Cultural Relativism, and the Middle Ground in Early America
    Item Type Book Section
    Author Paul Otto
    Editor Cornelis A. Van Minnen
    Editor Sylvia Hinton
    Abstract Explores the "middle ground" interpretation of American frontier theory - the American frontier was not a line of "advancing (western) civilization" pushing back the indigenous peoples but rather a fluid place between two cultures where diverse peoples met and interact and where new "cultural patterns and practices" emerged. Though extremely useful, the middle ground approach focuses too much on microhistory, ignores "cultural persistence" in the face of acculturation, does not adequately define "culture," and is too often culturally relativist. The author further discusses the benefits and failures of this "new frontier theory" in relation to colonial northeastern American history.

  • Rebellion and Ethnicity in Colonial New York: Jacob Leisler, Nicholas Bayard and Their World
    Item Type Thesis
    Author Rachael Nicole Headrick
    Abstract This dissertation is an analysis of the political chaos in New York in the second half of the 1600s and the effect that had on the Dutch-identified population there, specifically the development of a distinct New York Dutch ethnicity. The ultimate conclusion of this dissertation is that political turmoil in New York from 1664 through the early years of the eighteenth century, turmoil brought about largely by events in England and continental Europe, caused a split in the Dutch population. One part of that community developed a new identification as a distinct people, a New York Dutch ethnicity. Another part did not embrace this new definition of what it meant to be Dutch in New York and were driven from the community. Two main threads of inquiry are followed. First is the relationship between political events in England and continental Europe and those in New York. From the 1664 English Conquest of the Dutch colony of New Netherland onward, New Yorkers were forced into a reactive stance, with their political reality adjusting to events in England, the Netherlands, and Europe far more so than they were able to act autonomously or influence events on the other side of the Atlantic. Second is change within the Dutch-identifying community and the identities of people in New York due to the political events of the era. There was no strong sense of Dutch nationalism or ethnicity in New Netherland at the time of the 1664 English Conquest, and only subsequent political events in the colony caused a New York Dutch ethnicity to emerge. This ethnic identification distinguished the Dutch New Yorkers not only from English-identifying fellow colonists but also from people in the Netherlands. These two threads are analyzed in light of theories of ethnicity and change in ethnic communities developed by scholars studying later eras of history, using the questions and analytical methods of these theories to study changes in the identities of Dutch and Dutch-affiliated New Yorkers brought about by the political turmoil of the era. This analysis is about the Dutch community, but the ideas presented are clarified and illustrated through a focus on the lives of two men often at the center of the political chaos and other changes in the colony, Nicholas Bayard and Jacob Leisler. These two men were involved in all the important political events of their city and colony, most often on opposite sides. They became driving forces in the ultimate split of the Dutch community that was largely brought about by a 1689 uprising of the militia of New York City against the English-appointed government officials in the colony. Bayard was a member of the government while Leisler rose to lead the oppositional movement that came to be called Leisler's Rebellion. By the end of Leisler's time as de facto head of the government in New York and many years of political feuding that followed, Bayard's personal identity no longer aligned with the New York Dutch ethnicity that had emerged, thus making him one of those driven from the community, while Leisler in memory became the martyr around which the new identification coalesced.

    Abstract Examines Washington Irving's representation of Dutch life in New York and the influence that Dutch literature and culture had on him by analyzing his 1809 novel 'A History of New York, by Diedrich Knickerbocker.' Irving relied on Dutch-language novels, historical records, his own personal experience, and the popular 1632 etiquette guide 'Speigel van den Ouden en Nieuwen,' to inform his treatment of Dutch culture. 'Knickerbocker' serves as a humorous account of colonial life but also as an accurate portrayal of Dutch colonial traditions, popular culture, and everyday life.

    Abstract An essential guide to the history, culture, and social life of New Netherland.How much of the Dutch world in America survived after the English? One hundred years after the English took control of New Netherland in 1664, New York retained many Dutch characteristics. The cultural milieu shifted abruptly, however, with population growth and increased affluence following the termination of the French and Indian Wars in 1760. British customs and tastes that were stylishly attractive to a new generation of moneyed colonists soon put Dutch culture in retreat in all but the most isolated areas.Some elements of the past persisted in ways never dreamed of by the Dutch West India Company officials, who oversaw their nation’s colonization in America. These include caucus politics, separation of church and state, neighborly evening visits on the stoop, and Santa Claus. Even more striking is the similarity between principles and practices that emerged in the Dutch Republic four centuries ago and some of the precepts on which the American republic was founded.Much of the Dutch cultural and social history may be interpreted and understood through objects they brought with them and from those objects and structures they created in the New World. This landmark volume, originating in a major exhibit commemorating the tricentennial of the city of Albany, uncovers the range of Dutch colonial experience in America through some 350 objects: paintings, furniture, silver, gold, ceramics, textiles, prints, drawings, and architecture. The result is a rare and remarkable glimpse of New Netherland, a long-ago world that continues to resonate today.Roderic H. Blackburn is an ethnologist and architectural historian who has held positions as Director of Research at Historic Cherry Hill, Assistant Director of the Albany Institute of History and Art, and Senior Research Fellow at the New York State Museum. He is the author of Dutch Colonial Homes in America and Great Houses of New England. Ruth Piwonka is the author of A Portrait of Livingston Manor, 1686–1850 and the coauthor (with Roderic H.

  • Resuscitating Willem Kieft: Utopian Alternatives to Dystopian Traditions
    Item Type Book Section
    Author Christopher Pierce
    Editor Jaap Verhuel
    Abstract Traditionally, historians have taken a positive view of Peter Stuyvesant's administration of New Netherland during 1647-64, while both implicitly and explicitly denigrating the service of Stuyvesant's predecessor, Willem Kieft, who was director-general of the colony during 1637-47. Such accounts have even used the rhetoric of utopia and dystopia to compare the two regimes. This article revisits Kieft's administration, exploring how Kieft's policies set the stage for Stuyvesant's successful development of the colony while refraining from imposing a strict Calvinist moral ethos on the colony, a notable and unfortunate feature of Stuyvesant's tenure.

  • Revisiting New Netherland: Perspectives on Early Dutch America
    Item Type Book
    Editor Joyce D. Goodfriend
    Abstract The essays in this book offer a rich sampling of current scholarship on New Netherland and Dutch colonization in North America. The Introduction explains why the Dutch moment in American history has been overlooked or trivialized and calls attention to signs of the emergence of a new narrative of American beginnings that gives due weight to the imprint of Dutch settlement in America. The essays are organized around six major themes: New Netherland and Historical Memory, New Netherland in the Atlantic World, The Political Economy of New Netherland, New Netherland's Directors: A New Look, Family Research as a key to New Netherland's History, and Writing the History of New Netherland in the Twenty-first Century. This volume holds great interest for historians of early America and of Dutch colonization. Contributors include: Willem Frijhoff, Charles Th. Gehring, Joyce D. Goodfriend, Firth Haring Fabend, Jaap Jacobs, Wim Klooster, Harry Macy, Jr., Dennis J. Maika, Simon Middleton, Bertrand Van Ruymbeke, Annette Stott, David William Voorhees, and Richard Waldron.

    Abstract The article discusses the so-called 1613 Tawagonshi treaty between Dutch colonists and the Haudenosaunee Indians, or five-nations Iroquois, of New York State. The authors present the reasons why they consider the treaty, published by physician L.G. van Loon in 1968, to be a fake, including linguistic and orthographic anomalies and historical errors. They consider resistance to their position from individuals including historian Jon Parmenter and Saugerties, New York resident Vernon Benjamin. Events planned to celebrate the 400th anniversary of the treaty are also considered.

  • Revolt, Religion, and Dissent in the Dutch-American Atlantic: Francis Adrian van der Kemp's Pursuit of Civil and Religious Liberty
    Item Type Thesis
    Author Peter Van Cleave
    Abstract This project explores the histories of the Dutch Republic and the United States during the Age of Revolutions, using as a lens the life of Francis Adrian van der Kemp. Connections between the Netherlands and the United States have been understudied in histories of the Revolutionary Atlantic. Yet the nations' political and religious histories are entwined both thematically and practically. Van der Kemp's life makes it possible to examine republicanism and liberal religion anew, as they developed and changed during the era of Atlantic revolutions. The project draws on numerous archival collections that house van der Kemp's voluminous correspondence, political and religious writings, his autobiography, and the unpublished records of the Reformed Christian Church, now the Unitarian Church of Barneveld. With his activity in both countries, van der Kemp offers a unique perspective into the continued role of the Dutch in the development of the United States. The dissertation argues that the political divisions and incomplete religious freedom that frustrated van der Kemp in the Dutch Republic similarly manifested in America. Politically, the partisanship that became the hallmark of the early American republic echoed the experiences van der Kemp had during the Patriot Revolt. While parties would eventually stabilize radical politics, the collapse of the Dutch Republic in the Atlantic world and the divisiveness of American politics in those early decades, led van der Kemp to blunt his once radically democratic opinions. Heavily influenced by John Adams, he adopted a more conservative politics of balance that guaranteed religious and civil liberty regardless of governmental structure. In the realm of religion, van der Kemp discovered that American religious freedom reflected the same begrudging acceptance that constituted Dutch religious tolerance. Van der Kemp found that even in one of the most pluralistic states, New York, his belief in the unlimited liberty of conscience remained a dissenting opinion. The democracy and individualism celebrated in early American politics were controversial in religion, given the growing authority of denominations and hierarchical church institutions.

  • Rights, Privileges, and the Place of the Artisan in Colonial New York
    Item Type Thesis
    Author Simon David Middleton
    Abstract Until the middle of the eighteenth century tradesmen in colonial New York held a particular political and economic position in a social order formed around commitments to a natural hierarchy, deference and mutual respect for the rights and privileges of freeborn Englishmen. Whether high born or of the meaner sort, free men were entitled to claim the privileges of their place. Rulers and the elite expected obedience and deference from their social inferiors; skilled workers claimed respect for their trade privileges and a reasonable return for the work they did. Free men justified their claims to special consideration in a public language of privilege peculiar to the seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries. This language, or shared way of talking about politics, drew upon contemporary debates regarding the nature of government and legitimate authority. Thus the language of privilege connected the rhetoric of the middling and meaner sort with that of the high born and learned, and situated them both within a broader scheme of contemporary views of political philosophy. Over the course of the early eighteenth century the operation of the economy, changes in the practices of municipal government and the introduction of the English common law undermined the language of privilege and the place of the artisan in New York. Collectively these changes produced a shift in the language of politics which diminished the force of claims made in the older terms of hierarchy, inequality and respect for the privileges of each in their place. The decline of the public language of privilege with which men justified preferences and inequality left in its wake a colonial public who claimed and shared equality and unalienable rights under the rule of law It was into this novel and changing environment that the Lockean views of rights and resistance, unacceptable in general debate in the late seventeenth century, took a firmer and ultimately enormously significant hold. The decline in the language of privilege and the place of the artisan provided for new kinds of discussion about rights and privileges in work. In so doing it played an important part in the process which transformed colonial subjects, claiming the rights of Englishmen and the privileges of their place, into Americans who possessed universal equal rights and liberty based not upon their membership in a specific society but upon their humanity.

  • Seafarers and Businessmen: The Growth of Dutch Commerce in the Lower Hudson Valley
    Item Type Book Section
    Author Oliver A. Rink
    Editor Roger G. Panetta
    Abstract The 2009 quadricentennial celebrations commemorating the discovery of the Hudson River by Henry Hudson will also spotlight one of our deepest and most enduring national legaciesthe Dutch presence that has shaped not just the Hudson Valley but four centuries of American life. This lavishly illustrated book, a companion to the exhibition opening in June 2009 at the Hudson River Museum, takes needed stock of the remarkable past created by the settlers of New Netherlands. Although the Dutch controlled the Hudson Valley only until ceding it to the British in 1664, the Dutch established the towns and cities that today define the regionfrom New Amsterdam upriver to Fort Orange, todays Albany. The Dutch heritage lives on, not only in historic estates or Dutch-named places like the Bronx or Yonkers but also in commerce, law, politics, religion, art, and culture. In thirteen original essays, this book traverses those four centuries to enrich and expand our understanding of Americas origins. The essays, written by a superb team of distinguished scholars, are grouped into five chronological frames1609, 1709, 1809, 1909, and 2009each marking a key point in the history of the Dutch in the valley. The topics range widely, from patterns of settlement and the Dutch encounter with slavery and Native America to Dutch influences in everything from architecture and religion to material culture, language, and literature. Based on fresh research, this book is at once a fascinating introduction to a remarkable past and a much-needed new look at the Dutch role in the region, in the story of Americas origins, and in creating the habits, styles, and practices identified as quintessentially New Yorks.

  • Serving God and Mammon: The Reformed Church and the Dutch West India Company in the Atlantic world, 1621–1674
    Item Type Thesis
    Author Danny L. Noorlander
    Abstract This dissertation asks how the Reformed Church informed and shaped the Dutch experience in the seventeenth-century Atlantic world. It challenges a common view that Dutch expansion was a uniquely commercial phenomenon, that Dutch trade and religion occupied separate, distinct spheres. While the West India Company (WIC) was certainly a business, designed to generate wealth, it bore the powers and responsibilities of a state. Political, religious, and economic goals were combined under the company. Favoring religion brings extra-commercial aims and activities into sharp focus, demonstrating the diversity of Dutch interests, contesting the stereotypes that sometimes divide the story of European expansion too neatly along lines of national difference. The broad framework of Atlantic history serves a similar purpose: By giving equal weight to Dutch activities in Europe, West Africa, and America, this study avoids drawing conclusions about the WIC and Dutch expansion based on one place. The main body of the dissertation is divided into six chapters. They examine the religious life of company directors and merchants in cities like Amsterdam, the nature of worship at sea, religious rituals in times of war, efforts to convert indigenous peoples and reform colonial societies, the role of Reformed consistories as centers of opposition to unpopular policies and rulers, and related matters. As the only colonial power with a Reformed Church, the Dutch provide a unique chance to study Calvinist expansion. The church‘s diffuse structure complicated the question of oversight, but its various councils found ways to work together on important issues. Reformed clergy embraced the WIC as a divine tool. Calvinist ideas about religious authority also allowed merchants to participate on major church councils, influence clerical views of their vocation, and conduct a great deal of business with the church as they strove to meet ecclesiastical needs abroad. Conversely, the church‘s inflexibility and fear that foreign influences might corrupt its doctrines and traditions were detrimental to planting Protestantism.

  • Set in Stone: Creating and Commemorating a Hudson Valley Culture
    Item Type Book
    Author Kenneth Shefsiek
    Abstract In 1678, seven French-speaking Protestant families established the village of New Paltz in the Hudson River Valley of New York. Life on the edge of European settlement presented many challenges, but a particular challenge for these ethnic Walloon families, originally from the southern Spanish Netherlands, was that they lived in a Dutch cultural region in an English colony. In Set in Stone, Kenneth Shefsiek explores how the founders and their descendants reacted to and perpetuated this multiethnic cultural environment for generations. As the founding families controlled their town economically and politically, they creatively and selectively blended the cultures available to them. They allowed their Walloon culture to slip away early in the village's history, but they continued to combine Dutch and English cultures for more than 150 years. When they finally abandoned the last vestiges of Dutch culture in the early nineteenth century, they did so just as descendants of English colonists began to claim that the national commitment to liberty and freedom was grounded in the nation's English heritage. Not willing to be marginalized, descendants of the New Paltz Walloons constructed an alternative national narrative, placing their ancestors at the very center of the American story.

  • Settling the law: Legal development in New York, 1664-1776
    Item Type Thesis
    Author Eben Moglen
    Abstract This study is the first comprehensive legal history of any of the British North American colonies, covering the entire period of British Imperial control. It considers the pattern of "legal settlement," or the indigenous development of a legal system responsive to local environmental and political conditions in a society as diverse--in ethnic identification, language, and religious belief--as that of colonial New York. This colonial legal system was the outcome of reciprocal processes mediating between local needs and imperial policies. The evolution of the law of real property occurred, for example, in response to the competition for tenants among the large landlords of the Hudson River Valley, but also in relation to imperial strategic policy and the intensely factional political environment in the colony. The law of commercial relations in the port city of New York similarly developed both in relation to the needs of local merchants, and in response to the cycles of peacetime depression and wartime expansion. By 1760, internal tensions began a rapid "unsettling" of the provincial legal order. The systems of land regulation, commercial debt collection, and criminal justice suffered substantial interference, as imperial policy demanded legal outcomes, or established legal institutions, unfavorable to local economic and public order needs. These strains on the system threatened its dissolution even as the colonial Bar, which had gained steadily in intellectual sophistication and social organization through the eighteenth century, reached maturity. The concept of settlement, describing the complex interplay between local conditions and imperial policy, provides a possible model for the legal history of other North American colonies.

  • Sharing Spaces in a New World Environment: African-Dutch Contributions to North American Culture, 1626-1826
    Item Type Thesis
    Author Andrea C. Mosterman
    Abstract This dissertation examines the origins and development of cultural practices and traditions that emanated from African and Dutch interactions in Early New York between 1626 and 1826. The Dutch first settled this region in 1624, and by 1626 enslaved Africans had arrived in the colony. Beginning with these earliest encounters, the lives of African and Dutch descendants in this region became intertwined: African and Dutch Americans lived, worked, celebrated, and often times worshipped together. Examination of the interactions between Dutch and African descendants in the home, the church, the court, the workplace, and the public space shows that by sharing these spaces they substantially influenced each other's ways of life. This dissertation argues that exchanges and interactions between African and Dutch descendants in Early New York brought about new practices and traditions that are particular to the Dutch American communities in the region. Scholars have acknowledged the distinctive character of the region's culture, but thus far historians have not investigated the ways in which African and Dutch descendants influenced each other culturally, or how the African presence and the institution of slavery shaped Dutch American society. In particular, historians have not thoroughly interrogated the Dutch and the African narratives as a way to reconstruct this shared history. This study brings these two narratives together through its focus on African and Dutch exchanges in New York's Dutch American communities. Through investigation of both Dutch and English primary sources located in archives in the United States and Europe—such as the Brooklyn Historical Society, the Albany Institute of History and Art, the Collegiate Church Archives, the Gilder Lehrman Collection, and the Reformed Church of America Archives—this research uncovered a wide range of materials crucial to reconstructing New York's past. By incorporating these Dutch and English materials and integrating the Dutch and African narrative, this dissertation brings a more profound perspective to this part of American History. While the dissertation focuses on Dutch American communities, the close examination of cultural exchanges in a colonial society provides an important contribution to our understanding of the origins and developments of Early American cultures in general.

Consumer culture has been constructed as antithetical to the pre-modern, natural and fictional idealized Indian. Iroquois women in the seventeenth, eighteenth and nineteenth centuries purchased many of the same clothes and fabrics as contemporary non-indigenous consumers, but transformed them in evolving ways that asserted indigenous sovereignty, traditional values and cultural strength. In the nineteenth century reservation period, both nonindigenous “reformers” and Iroquois leaders focused on women's labor and purchasing choices as the heart of Iroquois self-definition: to change women's work was to change the nation. I argue that Iroquois women's consumer choices played a pivotal role in shaping their nations' engagement with expanding colonial settlements, in preserving distinct tribal identities in the face of religious and political pressure, and in crafting a modern indigenous community with traditional values. This project begins with a shirt and ends with a dress—the shirt bought in the seventeenth century by a woman who minimized her daily work load by purchasing clothing rather than making it, and the dress made two hundred years later by a woman who attended college and argued that the best way for Iroquois people to preserve the remainder of their lands was to show Americans how modern Iroquois traditions were. Iroquois spatial mobility and control of their territories made sources of trade goods easily accessible without allowing European traders unsupervised access to Iroquois homelands. Unlike many other eastern Native groups, the Iroquois were able to maintain the integrity of their home territories well into the eighteenth century and negated settler attempts to coerce change in their communities through education and conversion, instead strategically inviting and directing change in ways to help maintain their sovereignty.

  • Should We Stay or Should We Go?
    Item Type Journal Article
    Author Tom Weterings
    Abstract The colonial map of the Americas during the seventeenth century was ever-changing. Near-constant warfare meant that colonies could change hands several times in a matter of decades, and that European settlers could at any time find themselves under "new management" . A takeover posed a potential threat to the colonists' way of life, but the newcomers could be faced with a potentially hostile population as well. Differences in religion, language, political practice, as well as the question of loyalty could all pose serious obstacles for a good relationship between the new rulers and the old colonial population. This article addresses this issue from the perspective of the settlers. Taking the colony of Suriname as the main case, and by comparing it to other colonies such as Brazil and New Netherland, I conclude that most settlers were content to stay, with exceptions due to pressures by governments or incompatible religious differences.

  • Slavery on Long Island: Its Rise and Decline During the Seventeenth Through Nineteenth Centuries (new York)
    Item Type Thesis
    Author Richard Shannon Moss
    Abstract This dissertation examines the rise and decline of African slavery on Long Island, a typical agricultural community in the mid-Atlantic region of the United States, during the colonial and national periods. In the seventeenth century, when the Dutch controlled the colony and the major supply of slaves, Islanders' interest in slaves was limited. The demand for slaves increased as settlement and development of the Island's economy matured. During the English colonial period, there was a greater dispersal of slave ownership throughout all strata on Long Island, facilitated, in part, by greater external supplies of slaves to the region and an internal slave trade system which surpassed the former as the primary source of slaves for residents. Skilled and unskilled African slaves, who formed a stable labor supply on Long Island during the colonial period, worked in all sectors of the local economy. Island slaves experienced greater physical and occupational mobility than slaves in other mainland colonies. They worked independent of any immediate supervision by their owners, they were leased for short- and long-term periods, and they often worked for themselves in the barter and cash economies. The comparatively larger and more mobile New York slave populace eventually prompted legislators to restrict the slaves' civil and economic rights, and impose a series of Black Codes designed to control and terrorize them. Notwithstanding these measures, Long Island slaves maintained a degree of economic independence from their owners. They also struggled against their status as slaves and the additional controls imposed on them until the "peculiar institution" was abolished in the state. The decline of Island slavery was the result of local and regional developments. Individual Island owners either offered slaves their freedom outright, or the opportunity to purchase themselves and family members. The manumission movement among Island Quakers and opportunities which arose during the American Revolution, enabled additional Island slaves to gain their freedom. More important, changed economic conditions and increased organized criticism of the "peculiar institution" during the Post-Revolutionary War period in the region led to the enactment of emancipation laws which compensated slave owners who gradually freed their "hostile property."

  • “So Great a Correspondence”: Native American Diplomacy in the Hudson Valley, 1609–1783
    Item Type Thesis
    Author Tom Arne Midtrod
    Abstract This study examines Native American diplomacy and intergroup relations in the Hudson Valley between 1609 and 1783. It investigates actual and fictive kinship relations, religious festivals, patterns of gift exchange, and other customs and practices that tied the area's multiple independent Native political groups and peoples to one another and thus formed the basis for the Valley's indigenous diplomatic system. These diplomatic ties form an essential backdrop for understanding how Hudson Valley Indians attempted to integrate the European newcomers into their established political-diplomatic practices following the commencement of sustained contact with Europeans in 1609. The study thus seeks to contribute to the scholarly debate about Native American diplomatic and political practices in general. The investigation suggests that Indian-Indian relations continued to play an important role in shaping the strategic and political considerations of Native peoples long after the beginning of European colonization, and thus proposes a more complex picture than that suggested by a relative straightforward confrontation between Indians and Europeans common to much of the scholarly literature. The study argues that Hudson Valley Indians maintained a coherent political and diplomatic system or pattern of interaction throughout the era of European colonization of their homeland, even as the European colonizers and the powerful Iroquois peoples to the north of the Valley began to place the Valley Natives under foreign domination. In spite of clear evidence of large-scale political change, most obvious in the disappearance of many political groups in the lower Valley by the first decade of the eighteenth century, the Valley's diplomatic system possessed a remarkable vitality. Native patterns of diplomatic interaction did not begin to decline until the latter half of the eighteenth century, when internal divisions, warfare, and migrations to other areas critically weakened the political arrangements of the Valley Indians. Even then, some features of the Valley's old political landscape continued to persist, and it was ultimately mounting European pressures and the Revolutionary War that caused the final collapse of the diplomatic and political world of the Native Hudson Valley peoples by the early 1780s.

  • Stuyvesant Bound: An Essay on Loss Across Time
    Item Type Book
    Author Donna Merwick
    Abstract Stuyvesant Bound is an innovative and compelling evaluation of the last director general of New Netherland. Donna Merwick examines the layers of culture in which Peter Stuyvesant forged his career and performed his responsibilities, ultimately reappraising the view of Stuyvesant long held by the majority of U.S. historians and commentators. Borrowing its form from the genre of eighteenth- and nineteenth-​century learned essays, Stuyvesant Bound invites the reader to step into a premodern worldview as Merwick considers Stuyvesant's role in history from the perspectives of duty, belief, and loss. Stuyvesant is presented as a mid-seventeenth-century magistrate obliged by his official oath to manage New Netherland, including installing Calvinist politics and belief practices under the fragile conditions of early modern spirituality after the Protestant Reformation. Merwick meticulously reconstructs the process by which Stuyvesant became his own archivist and historian when, recalled to The Hague to answer for his surrender of New Netherland in 1664, he gathered together papers amounting to almost 50,000 words and offered them to the States General. Though Merwick weaves the theme of loss throughout this meditation on Stuyvesant's career, the association culminates in New Netherland's fall to the English in 1664 and Stuyvesant's immediate recall to Holland to defend his surrender. Rigorously researched and unabashedly interpretive, Stuyvesant Bound makes a major contribution to recovery of the cultural and religious diversity that marked colonial America.

  • Sweet Resoundings: Friendship Poetry by Petrus Stuyvesant and Johan Faret on Curaçao, 1639–45
    Item Type Journal Article
    Author Joanne Van der Woude
    Author Jaap Jacobs
    Abstract The poems exchanged by Dutch West India Company officers Johan Farret and Petrus Stuyvesant—later director general of New Netherland—during their stay on Curaçao call attention to an understudied genre of friendship poetry within the earliest settler literature from the Americas. The poems’ method of collection and distribution differs from the printed verse that has entered the early American canon. Moreover, Stuyvesant and Farret’s occasional and friendship verse celebrated aspects of the Dutch Empire and thus differs from the familial or religious focus of the canonical poetry by early English or German colonists. Stuyvesant and Farret’s poems participated in a flourishing Dutch tradition of civic verse, which was neither courtly nor churchly. The act of writing such friendship poetry was more important than the poems’ contents, and the poems’ gestures of affection display how male affect and friendship networks channeled imperial ambition and advancement within the Dutch Atlantic. And finally, because one poem concerns Stuyvesant’s lost leg, these works offer an interesting contribution to disability studies. Taken as a whole, these verses alert us to how different literary composition looked on the margins of empire when compared with the writings that are now commonly anthologized. Stuyvesant and Farret’s poems are both strikingly Dutch and remarkably Atlantic.

    Item Type Book
    Author J. R. Jones
    Abstract This study of the Anglo--Dutch Wars (1652-54, 1665-67, 1672-74) sets them in their naval, political and economic contexts. Competing essentially over trade, both governments were crucially influenced by mercantile interests and by the representative institutions that were central to England and the Dutch Republic. Professor Jones compares the effectiveness of the governments under pressure - English with Dutch, Commonwealth with restored monarchy, Republican with Orangist - and the effects on their economies; and examines the importance of the wars in accelerating the formation of a professional officer corps and establishing battle tactics that would endure throughout the age of sail.

  • The Archaeology of 17th-Century New Netherland Since 1985: An Update
    Item Type Journal Article
    Author Paul R. Huey
    Abstract In 1985, a number of goals and research questions were proposed in relation to the archaeology of pre-1664 sites in the Dutch colony of New Netherland. Significant Dutch sites were subsequently excavated in Albany, Kingston, and other places from 1986 through 1988, while a series of useful publications continued to be produced after 1988. Excavations at historic period Indian sites also continued after 1988. Excavations in 17th-century sites from Maine to Maryland have revealed extensive trade contacts with New Netherland and the Dutch, while the Jamestown excavations have indicated the influence of the Dutch in the early history of Virginia. In 1996, after a nine-year period of minimal archaeological activity in Albany, the controversial Dormitory Authority project suddenly attracted widespread attention. Excavations in other parts of Albany followed, and other pre-1664 features, including a brickyard site, were uncovered. An important discovery in New York City was the evidence of the windmill that was standing on Governors Island in 1639. Further excavations at 17th-century sites have occurred in Kingston and on Shelter Island.

    Abstract “Unrivaled in scope. An essential work for urban historical archaeologists.”—Adrian Praetzellis, author ofDug to Death“An engaging and astonishingly comprehensive work that reveals just how much our knowledge of America's cities and the lives of city dwellers has been enriched through urban archaeology.”—Mary C. Beaudry, coeditor ofArchaeologies of Mobility and MovementAmerican cities have been built, altered, redeveloped, destroyed, reimagined, and rebuilt for nearly 300 years in order to accommodate growing and shrinking populations and their needs.Urban archaeology is a unique subfield with its own peculiar challenges and approaches to fieldwork. Understanding the social forces that influenced the development of American cities requires more than digging; it calls for the ability to extrapolate from limited data, an awareness of the dynamics that drive urban development, and theories that can build bridges to connect the two.At the forefront of this exciting field of research, Nan Rothschild and Diana Wall are well suited to introduce this fascinating topic to a broad readership. Following a brief introduction, the authors offer specific case studies of work undertaken in New York, Philadelphia, Tucson, West Oakland, and many other cities. Ideal for undergraduates,The Archaeology of American Cities utilizes the material culture of the past to highlight recurring themes that reflect distinctive characteristics of urban life in the United States.

  • The Castello Plan—Evidence of Horticulture in New Netherland or Cartographer's Whimsy?
    Item Type Journal Article
    Author Richard Schaefer
    Author Meta Fayden Janowitz
    Abstract Few descriptions or depictions of horticulture in New Netherland have survived, although 17th-century observers' accounts of gardens and orchards present lengthy lists of fruits, vegetables, and flowers transplanted from Europe, as well as those discovered in North America. Perhaps the most evocative source is the mid-century Castello Plan, a view of the settlement of New Amsterdam, which shows elaborate parterres on most of the unoccupied lots. Based on data from both the Netherlands and New Netherland - including artists' depictions, travelers' accounts, and gardening texts - that illustrate the cultural attitudes, cultural materials, and environment the colonists would have known in Europe, the images of gardens depicted on this early view of Manhattan are evaluated.

  • The Colony of New Netherland: A Dutch Settlement in Seventeenth-Century America
    Item Type Book
    Author Jaap Jacobs
    Abstract The Dutch involvement in North America started after Henry Hudson, sailing under a Dutch flag in 1609, traveled up the river that would later bear his name. The Dutch control of the region was short-lived, but had profound effects on the Hudson Valley region. In The Colony of New Netherland, Jaap Jacobs offers a comprehensive history of the Dutch colony on the Hudson from the first trading voyages in the 1610s to 1674, when the Dutch ceded the colony to the English.As Jacobs shows, New Netherland offers a distinctive example of economic colonization and in its social and religious profile represents a noteworthy divergence from the English colonization in North America. Centered around New Amsterdam on the island of Manhattan, the colony extended north to present-day Schenectady, New York, east to central Connecticut, and south to the border shared by Delaware, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania, leaving an indelible imprint on the culture, political geography, and language of the early modern mid-Atlantic region. Dutch colonists' vivid accounts of the land and people of the area shaped European perceptions of this bountiful land; their own activities had a lasting effect on land use and the flora and fauna of New York State, in particular, as well as on relations with the Native people with whom they traded.Sure to become readers' first reference to this crucial phase of American early colonial history, The Colony of New Netherland is a multifaceted and detailed depiction of life in the colony, from exploration and settlement through governance, trade, and agriculture. Jacobs gives a keen sense of the built environment and social relations of the Dutch colonists and closely examines the influence of the church and the social system adapted from that of the Dutch Republic. Although Jacobs focuses his narrative on the realities of quotidian existence in the colony, he considers that way of life in the broader context of the Dutch Atlantic and in comparison to other European settlements in North America.

  • The Contest for the Delaware Valley: Allegiance, Identity, and Empire in the Seventeenth Century
    Item Type Book
    Author Mark L. Thompson
    Abstract In the first major examination of the diverse European efforts to colonize the Delaware Valley, Mark L. Thompson offers a bold new interpretation of ethnic and national identities in colonial America. For most of the seventeenth century, the lower Delaware Valley remained a marginal area under no state's complete control. English, Dutch, and Swedish colonizers all staked claims to the territory, but none could exclude their rivals for long -- in part because Native Americans in the region encouraged the competition. Officials and settlers alike struggled to determine which European nation would possess the territory and what liberties settlers would keep after their own colonies had surrendered.The resulting struggle for power resonated on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean. While the rivalry promoted patriots who trumpeted loyalties to their sovereigns and nations, it also rewarded cosmopolitans who struck deals across imperial, colonial, and ethnic boundaries. Just as often it produced men -- such as Henry Hudson, Willem Usselincx, Peter Minuit, and William Penn -- who did both.Ultimately, The Contest for the Delaware Valley shows how colonists, officials, and Native Americans acted and reacted in inventive, surprising ways. Thompson demonstrates that even as colonial spokesmen debated claims and asserted fixed national identities, their allegiances -- along with the settlers' -- often shifted and changed. Yet colonial competition imposed limits on this fluidity, forcing officials and settlers to choose a side. Offering their allegiances in return for security and freedom, colonial subjects turned loyalty into liberty. Their stories reveal what it meant to belong to a nation in the early modern Atlantic world.

  • The Creation of American Religious Pluralism: Churches, Colonialism, and Conquest in the Mid-Atlantic, 1628–1688
    Item Type Thesis
    Author Evan Haefeli
    Abstract This dissertation describes the origins of the famous religious and ethnic diversity of the middle colonies. It finds a new explanation for the region's embrace of toleration and pluralism within the context of European religious and imperial politics. In this account, religious freedom emerges only gradually out of a process of war, conquest, and absolutist politics rather than a pragmatic or principled response to colonial realities. As scholars have long assumed that New Netherland's Dutch set the precedent for religious toleration and pluralism in the region, it begins with the first Dutch colonists and works its way up through to the Glorious Revolution. On close inspection, the Dutch colony of New Netherland turns out to have been a remarkably orthodox Calvinist settlement. New Amsterdam offered far less religious toleration than its namesake back in Europe. New Sweden also emerges as a notably orthodox offshoot of its mother church. It was James, Duke of York, who imposed religious freedom on the region after he conquered New Netherland. James's form of toleration was rather peculiar, tolerating all religions while establishing none. Of course, as a Catholic in an overwhelmingly Protestant country, he had no interest in seeing the Church of England established in his personal territories. His religious toleration had a political side as well. He created a society united more by loyalty to the crown than to a church. Toleration caused problems and consternation for the Reformed Protestants who had dominated New Netherland. Ministers lost the power they had once had to influence colonial politics. The laity gained a new ability to deviate from the authority of their ministers. In New Netherland the Reformed Church had been able to unite Calvinists of various theological persuasions and national origins into a remarkably cohesive society. Under James's regime of tolerance the Reformed Church lost the ability to contain the religious and political differences of its members and instead began to divide over them. At the same time, Quakers, Jews, and even Catholics achieved a new social and political prominence under the shelter official toleration. The Glorious Revolution reduced but could not erase the pluralism James had initiated.

  • The Darling Strangers and English Appetites: Technology Transfer and European Cultural Barriers in the Early Modern Atlantic World
    Item Type Thesis
    Author Elva Kathleen Lyon
    Abstract The English had the opportunity to serve an apprenticeship for technologies they desired in the early modern period on both sides of the Atlantic. In places such as London or Norwich highly mobile stranger artisans from northern continental Europe created the items for which the English had an appetite, whether sugar or clothes, saw mills or city docks. In the colonies the “darlings” who possessed the skills that the English envied were principally in New Netherland, records showing that they were from the same cultural group of northern continental Europeans who resided as guild strangers in English cities. Family reconstitution revealed the mobility of these skilled artisans in the Atlantic World. North American colonial documents provide a window through which to view when, how, or if, the English managed to acquire the skilled knowledge of cultural outsiders to produce what they coveted. Every examined case of an English appetite for a product or its means of production proved to possess features unique to the circumstances of the interaction between the English and those of another European culture practicing the skill. In most cases deep cultural differences limited the colonial English to hiring foreign experts, buying their products, or finding culturally acceptable sources of information such as the Scots. Occasionally artisans were hired directly from the continent of Europe using colonial middlemen. English citizenship was easier to obtain in the colonies than in England, offering a colonial back door to foreign craft practice that could re-cross the Atlantic to an English town or city. The problems that made England’s apprenticeship so difficult became apparent when examining Atlantic World technology transfer and its barriers. There were distinct, deep cultural differences between the English and the northern continental Europeans in mobility, kinship systems, naming practices, family, language, inheritance patterns, views of women, craft practice and values, attitudes toward machines, and concepts of urban life. These acted as barriers to the transfer of technologies including higher craft skills, saw mills, and city building.

  • The Dutch Connection: New Netherland, the Pequots, and the Puritans in Southern New England, 1620–1638
    Item Type Journal Article
    Author Mark Meuwese
    Abstract Although most historical studies of the Pequot War acknowledge the existence of a trade alliance between the Pequots and the Dutch preceding the outbreak of the English-Pequot conflict, scholars have neglected to examine Dutch-Pequot relations in detail. Following a decade of material exchange between private traders and the Pequots, the Dutch West India Company (WIC) established a mutually beneficial trade alliance with the Pequots in 1626. When the relationship broke down in the early 1630s, WIC officials in New Netherland, distracted by personal and political feuds in the Dutch colony, were remarkably slow to repair the alliance. The inability of the WIC to restore stable relations with the Pequots drew the attention of the neighboring Puritan colonies, who coveted the fertile lands of the Connecticut Valley. By highlighting the complex role of the Dutch, this essay complicates our view of the Pequot War as an inevitable conflict between Puritans and Pequots.

    Item Type Book
    Author David Onnekink
    Author Gijs Rommelse
    Abstract Emerging at the turn of the seventeenth century, the Dutch Republic rose to become a powerhouse of economic growth, artistic creativity, military innovation, religious tolerance and intellectual development. This is the first textbook to present this period of early modern Dutch history in a global context. It makes an active use of illustrations, objects, personal stories and anecdotes to present a lively overview of Dutch global history that is solidly grounded in sources and literature. Focusing on themes that resonate with contemporary concerns, such as overseas exploration, war, slavery, migration, identity and racism, this volume charts the multiple ways in which the Dutch were connected with the outside world. It serves as an engaging and accessible introduction to Dutch history as well as a case study in early modern global expansion.

  • The Dutch Moment: War, Trade, and Settlement in the Seventeenth-Century Atlantic World
    Item Type Book
    Author Willem Klooster
    Abstract In The Dutch Moment, Wim Klooster shows how the Dutch built and eventually lost an Atlantic empire that stretched from the homeland in the United Provinces to the Hudson River and from Brazil and the Caribbean to the African Gold Coast. The fleets and armies that fought for the Dutch in the decades-long war against Spain included numerous foreigners, largely drawn from countries in northwestern Europe. Likewise, many settlers of Dutch colonies were born in other parts of Europe or the New World. The Dutch would not have been able to achieve military victories without the native alliances they carefully cultivated. Indeed, the Dutch Atlantic was quintessentially interimperial, multinational, and multiracial. At the same time, it was an empire entirely designed to benefit the United Provinces.The pivotal colony in the Dutch Atlantic was Brazil, half of which was conquered by the Dutch West India Company. Its brief lifespan notwithstanding, Dutch Brazil (1630–1654) had a lasting impact on the Atlantic world. The scope of Dutch warfare in Brazil is hard to overestimate―this was the largest interimperial conflict of the seventeenth-century Atlantic. Brazil launched the Dutch into the transatlantic slave trade, a business they soon dominated. At the same time, Dutch Brazil paved the way for a Jewish life in freedom in the Americas after the first American synagogues opened their doors in Recife. In the end, the entire colony eventually reverted to Portuguese rule, in part because Dutch soldiers, plagued by perennial poverty, famine, and misery, refused to take up arms. As they did elsewhere, the Dutch lost a crucial colony because of the empire's systematic neglect of the very soldiers on whom its defenses rested.After the loss of Brazil and, ten years later, New Netherland, the Dutch scaled back their political ambitions in the Atlantic world. Their American colonies barely survived wars with England and France. As the imperial dimension waned, the interimperial dimension gained strength. Dutch commerce with residents of foreign empires thrived in a process of constant adaptation to foreign settlers’ needs and mercantilist obstacles.

    Abstract Commemorating the 400th anniversary of Henry Hudson’s voyage and the lasting legacy of Dutch culture in New York, this book explores the life and times of a fascinating woman, her family, and her things. Margrieta was born in the Netherlands but lived at the extremes of the Dutch colonial world, in Malacca on the Malay Peninsula and in Flatbush, Brooklyn. When she came to New York in 1686 with her husband and set up a shop, she brought an astonishing array of Eastern goods, many of which were documented in an inventory made after her death in 1695. Extensive archival research has enabled a collaborative team to reconstruct her story and establish the depth of her connection to Dutch trading establishments in Asia. This is a groundbreaking contribution to the histories of New York City, the Dutch overseas empire, women, and material culture.

    Author Gerald Francis De Jong
    Abstract The Dutch Reformed Church in the American Colonies remains the best study of the early years of the Reformed Church in North America. De Jongs careful account takes the readers on a fascinating journey from the establishment of a Dutch church at a mill in New Amsterdam to the early years of an indigenous American denomination. Along the way we become acquainted with issues in the colonial period that are pertinent in the twenty-first century for the Reformed Church in America: church multiplication, leadership training, discipleship, regional tensions, adaptation to cultural changes, worship, and liturgy. De Jong helps us to see that, in many respects, the more things change, the more they remain the same. The Rev. Dennis N. Voskuil, Ph.D. President and De Witt Professor of Church History Western Theological Seminary, Holland, Michigan The reissue of De Jongs classic study is very welcome. Though of course there has been other important work on various aspects of the colonial Dutch Reformed experience in the thirty years since the books first appearance, still it remains the standard comprehensive account - a careful and thorough work that shows a mastery of the sources and sticks close to them.

  • "The Dutch Threatened Them Hard": Dutch and English Colonial Writings, 1620-1664
    Item Type Thesis
    Author Sabine Annegret Klein
    Abstract This dissertation comparatively investigates how the interactions of Dutch and English colonists with their Indian neighbors in North America shaped colonial writers' perspectives on ideologies and discourses circulating among the metropoles of seventeenth-century Europe. It argues that colonial writings by Dutch and English colonial writers, such as Thomas Morton, William Wood, Johannes Megapolensis, Harmen Meyndertz van den Bogaert, John Underhill, David P. De Vries, Adriaen van der Donck, or Beauchamp Plantagenet, participate in rhetorical networks spanning both the Atlantic and the Western hemisphere. By locating early modern European political, military, and territorial debates in writings from New England and New Netherland, this project suggests that the histories and cultures of European colonies in the Western hemisphere and their European mother countries in the seventeenth century are more complex and interlinked than earlier scholarship has implied. Moreover, this work outlines the extent to which European subjects on both sides of the Atlantic were involved in writing and defining the colonial experience.

  • The Dutch-American Farm
    Item Type Book
    Author David Steven Cohen
    Abstract Under the influence of European historians, scholarship about the Dutch in America has generally emphasized what was derived from the urban and merchant character of the Netherlands, particularly the single province of Holland in the seventeenth century. But it was among the farmers of New York and New Jersey, according to David Steven Cohen, rather than the urban merchants of Albany and New York City, that a distinctive Dutch-American regional subculture arose, thrived, and survived through the end of the nineteenth century. By examining the life of the early emigrant Dutch settlers, the author constructs a picture of their culture through the farmhouses they built, the landscapes they cultivated, and the tools and equipment they used, relating it all to the structure of their families, their folklore, and folklife. It was in the second quarter of the eighteenth century, according to Cohen, that a change occurred in the culture of the Dutch in America by which they became Dutch-American, and the most striking material evidence of this transformation was in the development of a new type of farmhouse, which began to replace those still traceable to the Netherlands. Thirty black-and-white illustrations including both photographs and floorplans, help to trace this evolution, which was occurring at about the same time the Great Awakening was Americanizing the Dutch Reformed Church, and which resulted in the Dutch-American culture that was not an Anglo-Dutch amalgam so much as a distinctive regional subculture within the American culture emerging at that time.

  • The Empire that Never Was: The Nearly-Dutch Atlantic Empire in the Seventeenth Century
    Item Type Journal Article
    Author Trevor Burnard
    Author Joyce Goodfriend
    Author Cynthia Van Zandt
    Author Willem Frijhoff
    Author Wim Klooster
    Abstract This book forum focuses on Wim Klooster’s The Dutch Moment: War, Trade, and Settlement in the Seventeenth-Century Atlantic World (Cornell University Press, 2016). In his book, Wim Klooster shows how the Dutch built and eventually lost an Atlantic empire that stretched from the homeland in the United Provinces to the Hudson River and from Brazil and the Caribbean to the African Gold Coast. The fleets and armies that fought for the Dutch in the decades-long war against Spain included numerous foreigners, largely drawn from countries in northwestern Europe. Likewise, many settlers of Dutch colonies were born in other parts of Europe or the New World. According to Klooster, the Dutch would not have been able to achieve military victories without the native alliances they carefully cultivated. Indeed, Klooster concludes, the Dutch Atlantic was quintessentially interimperial, multinational, and multiracial. At the same time, it was an empire entirely designed to benefit the United Provinces. The four reviewers – Trevor Burnard, Joyce Goodfriend, Cynthia Van Zandt, and Willem Frijhoff – all offer praise, some more profusely than others. Their reviews critically question some aspects of Klooster’s narrative, particularly in relation to slavery, the inevitability of the Dutch Atlantic empire’s decline, his assessment of the rule of Johan-Maurits van Nassau-Siegen in Dutch Brazil, the role of violence and of women in Dutch colonization, as well as the relationship between microcosmic and macrocosmic perspectives on the history of Dutch America.

  • "The Extreemest Part of All": The Dutch Community of Schenectady, New York, 1661-1720
    Item Type Thesis
    Author Thomas E. Burke
    Abstract "The Extreemest Part of All": The Dutch Community of Schenectady, New York, 1661-1720 is the study of a Dutch village founded on the northern frontier of New Netherland only three years before the colony's conquest by the English. As this study reveals, Schenectady's origins lay not only in the personal and economic motives of various individuals at Beverwyck and Rensselaerswyck, but also those of the Dutch governor, Peter Stuyvesant, who sanctioned the village's creation at a moment of crisis in the fur trade with the Iroquois and in relations with the English. Although small in population, only 591 persons resided at the village as late as 1714, for the period of this study, Schenectady's history mirrors much of the contemporary history of New Netherland and New York. This study not only focuses upon Schenectady's origins, but attempts to place the destruction of the village in 1690 within a broad context of Anglo-Dutch, Dutch-French, and Anglo-French relations extending back over the previous quarter century. Also examined are the economic and political origins of Schenectady's internal divisions and an analysis is provided of the factions which contended against each other at the village. These divisions are discussed not only in their local setting, but in relation to the province-wide schism which surrounded Leisler's Rebellion and its aftermath. Finally, although particular attention is accorded Dutch-Indian relations, Schenectady is revealed as a community more ethnically and culturally diverse than has generally been realized. In the seventeenth century it was not uncommon for several hundred Indians to be present at the village in the summer trading months or as they readied themselves for war. Indian men, women, and children, French coureurs de bois, African slaves and, from the 1690s onward, English soldiers and settlers, all visited, resided, or were garrisoned at the village. While this study focuses primarily upon the Dutch community, it is their story as well.

  • The Gansevoorts of Albany: Dutch Patricians in the Upper Hudson Valley
    Item Type Book
    Author Alice P. Kenney
    Abstract Mustard colored gilt stamped cloth over boards, 322 pages, Index, Bibliography, Notes, illustrated in b & w. In a dust jacket that has a half inch tear top front edge, bumped at spine ends and corners, light soil/scuffing. "The story of the Gansevoorts of Albany is a medium for the study of the social and cultural tradition of the Dutch patricians of the upper Hudson Valley. Spanning three centuries, the family's history began in the mid-1600s, when one Harmen Harmense van Gansevoort built a brewery, and included Gen. Peter Gansevoort, the Hero of Fort Stanwix of the American Revolution, and novelist Herman Melville. It ended in 1918 with the death of patrician Catherine Gansevoort Lansing in her dilapidated family home, which was stuffed from cellar to attic with relics of her vanished Albany ancestors. In their civic and family life the Gansevoort's reflected a tradition derived nearly intact from that of the medieval Netherlands. Dutch towns were dominated by the wealthiest merchant families and ruled by the church and city councils whose members took it for granted that the interests of the town were identical with those of their own families' commerce. The early history of Albany follows this pattern very closely."

  • The Great Law and the Longhouse: A Political History of the Iroquois Confederacy
    Item Type Book
    Author William N. Fenton
    Abstract An in-depth survey of Iroquois culture and historyThis masterful summary represents a major synthesis of the history and culture of the Six Nations from the mid-sixteenth century to the Canandaigua treaty of 1794. William N. Fenton, renowned as the dean of Iroquoian studies, draws on primary sources, in both French and English to create a readable narrative and an invaluable reference for all future scholars of Iroquois polity.Central to Fenton’s study is the tradition of the Great Law, still practiced today by the conservative Iroquois. It is sustained by celebrations of the condolence ceremony when participants mourn a dead chief and install his successor for life on good behavior. This ritual act, reaching back to the dawn of history, maintained the League of the Iroquois, the legendary form of government that gave way over time to the Iroquois Confederacy.

  • The Hartford Treaty of 1650: Anglo-Dutch Cooperation in the Seventeenth Century
    Item Type Journal Article
    Author Ronald D. Cohen
    Abstract Throughout the brief existence of the colony of New Netherland, relations between the Dutch and their English neighbors were quite peaceful, in contrast to the quarrels between the mother countries. In part, this condition was a result of the Hartford Treaty of 1650 negotiated between Peter Stuyvesant, representing the Dutch colony, and the members of the New England Confederation. Boundary lines were agreed upon and other problems were either settled or postponed for future discussion. For the most part, the treaty was a triumph for Stuyvesant, and the Dutch were able to live peacefully in Massachusetts and New Plymouth until the take-over by England. Based on primary and secondary sources; 5 illus., 25 notes.

    Editor Hans Krabbendam
    Abstract Discusses the relationship between 17th-century "mother-city" Amsterdam and its "daughter-town" New Amsterdam by examining woodcuts and copper-plate engravings that represent both the Netherlands and its colonies. These pieces, through their images, metaphors, and mottos, give an idea of the Dutch national character as well as the attitudes that 15th- and 16th-century Dutch elites had toward Dutch colonial possessions. The case of the Amsterdam-New Amsterdam relationship demonstrates that Netherland's commercial powerbrokers desired a semiautonomous status for colonial entities, a situation that would advance mutual prosperity through trade and commerce. Consequently, they showed little interest in establishing or maintaining strict imperial or colonial control.

  • The Idea of "Amsterdam" in New Amsterdam and Early New York
    Item Type Journal Article
    Author Simon Middleton
    Abstract Looks at the extent to which "old world" Dutch practices influenced the political, social, legal, and administrative daily life of New Amsterdam and early New York City. Demographically, New Amsterdam was not a homogenous Dutch society, as half of all colonists in the town came from outside the Netherlands. In administrative affairs, however, the influence of Amsterdam could certainly be felt, despite the relative lack of top-down colonial control. Following the English takeover, Dutch colonials' loyalty to their homeland gave birth to a number of ethnically based challenges with which English administrators of New York had to deal.

  • The Imperial Executive in America: Sir Edmund Andros, 1637–1714
    Item Type Book
    Author Mary Lou Lustig
    Abstract "Few English imperial executives of the seventeenth century contributed as much to the shaping of both the first English empire and the future American nation as did Sir Edmund Andros. As governor-general of New York, the Dominion of New England, and Virginia, his royalist roots, military training, and executive ability made him an ideal candidate to protect, defend, expand, and ensure the survival of England's North American colonies." "This study differs from most past assessments of Andros, which portray him in a negative light as an autocratic tyrant. A soldier, administrator, courtier, and diplomat, Andros served a succession of Stuart monarchs in both Old and New Worlds. Andros's most significant achievement in New York, his first governorship, was to avoid an Indian war like that which sparked rebellion in Virginia and a major conflict in New England. Instead Andros negotiated a lasting agreement with the powerful Five Nations of the Iroquois. The 1677 Covenant Chain was eventually extended from New York to New England and the Chesapeake. It ensured the survival in North America of both the Iroquois and the English. Andros also made significant attempts to increase the population and improve the economy of New York."--Cover.

    Abstract The article, second in a series of three, discusses the connection of the Duncanson family of New Netherland to the powerful Livingston family of New York by identifying a pair of Duncanson sisters' great-grandmother as Margaret Forrester. Because Forrester was initially married to Sir James Colville of East Weems, Scotland, the author first traces the genealogy of Scotland's Colville family, and then focuses on the education of Henry Livingston, Minister of St. Ninian's, Scotland, and father to the sisters' mother.

  • The Long Wake of the Pequot War
    Item Type Journal Article
    Author Katherine A. Grandjean
    Abstract This article explores the aftermath of the Pequot War of 1636-38. The Pequot War has sometimes been characterized as so staggering a blow to New England Indians that it, in effect, secured several decades of peace. But by following the soldiers and survivors of the war, and by surveying the psychological climate in postwar New England, this article argues that the period following the Pequot War was anything but calm; it was instead marked by fear, suspicion, and violence. Following ripple effects of the war beyond New England and even into New Netherland, this article also makes connections between the violence of the Pequot War and Kieft's War, the devastating Indian war that convulsed the Dutch colonies in the 1640s. Most broadly, this study suggests the lingering costs of war and conquest—not only for the "losers," but for the conquerors, as well.

  • The Memory of All Ancient Customs: Native American Diplomacy in the Colonial Hudson Valley
    Item Type Book
    Author Tom Arne Midtrød
    Abstract In The Memory of All Ancient Customs, Tom Arne Midtrød examines the complex patterns of diplomatic, political, and social communication among the American Indian peoples of the Hudson Valley―including the Mahicans, Wappingers, and Esopus Indians―from the early seventeenth century through the American Revolutionary era. By focusing on how members of different Native groups interacted with one another, this book places Indians rather than Europeans on center stage. Midtrød uncovers a vast and multifaceted Native American world that was largely hidden from the eyes of the Dutch and English colonists who gradually displaced the indigenous peoples of the Hudson Valley. In The Memory of All Ancient Customs he establishes the surprising extent to which numerically small and militarily weak Indian groups continued to understand the world around them in their own terms, and as often engaged― sometimes violently, sometimes cooperatively―with neighboring peoples to the east (New England Indians) and west (the Iroquois ) as with the Dutch and English colonizers. Even as they fell more and more under the domination of powerful outsiders―Iroquois as well as Dutch and English―the Hudson Valley Indians were resilient, maintaining or adapting features of their traditional diplomatic ties until the moment of their final dispossession during the American Revolutionary War.

  • The Momentum of Tradition: Dutch Society and Identity in Schenectady, 1660-1790
    Item Type Thesis
    Author Edward Henry Tebbenhoff
    Abstract "The Momentum of Tradition" examines the establishment and persistence of ethnic identity and the complexities of the process of assimilation in early American history. When the English seized New Netherland from the Dutch in 1664, the colony's inhabitants became the first Europeans in American history confronted with the problems of assimilation and cultural absorption. Their experiences prefigured those of many later immigrants to the New World. The governmental and legal structure of colonial New York quickly became anglicized after the conquest. On the local level, however, similar transformations in everyday life did not occur easily or quickly, however. In 17th and 18th-century Schenectady, the Dutch comprised the "charter group" whose population, religion, language, and other cultural and institutional arrangements thoroughly dominated local society. Given these circumstances, it was unrealistic for Englishmen to believe that the Dutch men and women would adhere to English norms. Until the 1750s and 1760s, outsiders entering Schenectady had to conform to local rules and customs in order to succeed in local society. This strong sense of "Dutchness" persisted in Schenectady throughout the 18th century because incoming migrants to the community found themselves an ethnic and linguistic minority. For many of these people, succeeding in local society meant conforming to the culture and norms of the majority. After the French and Indian War, this strong and distinctive ethnic awareness began to wane as increasing numbers of non-Dutch entered the community. This growing accommodation with English increased in the next several decades as the welfare and social mobility of the local population became more and more dependent upon interactions with the wider world. Change came very gradually, however. The use of the Dutch language receded into the home and away from the public sphere. Naming patterns for children reveal a strong sense of tradition. Most importantly, the Dutch Reformed Church persisted as the centerpiece of a distinct ethnic consciousness. The final absorption of the colonial Dutch population did not occur until the early 19th century.

  • The Nobility of Holland: From Knights to Regents, 1500–1650
    Item Type Book
    Author Henk Van Nierop
    Abstract This is the first full-scale analysis of the social and political transformation of the nobility of Holland during the revolt against Spain in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. In the age of Rembrandt, nobles seemed to have been obliterated by the rising bourgeois merchants. However, in this study of the impact of the Dutch revolt, the author finds that Dutch nobles were extremely successful in maintaining their positions within the supposedly bourgeois Republic, forming the elite in administrative, political and economic systems. This is a revised edition of van Nierop's widely acclaimed Dutch publication.

    Item Type Book
    Author C. G. Hine
    Abstract The Old Mine Road, considered the first road in America designed for wheeled vehicles, was built three hundred years ago by Dutch settlers for access to the mines of the Minisink country. It began in Kingston, New York, wove through Sussex and Warren counties in New Jersey, and ended near the Delaware Water Gap. Many changes have taken place in these regions since C. G. Hine recorded his observations and printed The Old Mine Road for his friends in 1908. Bulldozers have obliterated much of what he saw as he took his readers along the length of the road, describing the natural beauty of the countryside and relating the history and legends linked with the road and the people who lived on its route. This new printing is a facsimile of the first 1908 edition. Henry Charlton Beck's introduction gives a publishing history of the book and provides a biographical sketch about Hine.

  • The Origins of New Netherland: Interpreting Native American Responses to Henry Hudson's Visit
    Item Type Journal Article
    Author Paul Otto
    Abstract Addresses the controversy over whether Henry Hudson was the first European encountered by the Amerindians of the Hudson River area. Dutch claims to the area rested on the argument that Hudson was indeed the first, but later scholars who have looked closely at contemporary accounts of Amerindian reactions to Hudson's expedition have detected signs that the Amerindians were not unfamiliar with whites. This article compares the accounts of Hudson and his crew with other contemporary European descriptions of encounters with Indians and sets it within a detailed ethnographical explanation of local customs and traditions. Indigenous customs of hospitality and social intercourse rather than the likelihood of any prior exposure to Europeans can better explain the openness with which the Native Americans treated Hudson and their willingness to trade with him.

    Abstract In the fifteenth century, a rich coastal area along the western rim of the Atlantic Basin, now known as New York City, was on the brink of transformation. It was a quiet place where autonomous communities of egalitarian peoples, today known as the Munsee, lived. Three centuries later, that place had become the first capital of a new, slave-owning, settler nation, the United States of America, and that nation’s premier port. In between, it was first an extractive and then a settler colony of two major European powers, the Netherlands and England, and a battleground in the American Revolution. This chapter uses the results of archaeological excavations there to illuminate that dramatic transformation.

    Abstract The Orphan Chamber of New Amsterdam, founded in 1656, watched over estates of children who had lost parents. Orphan masters as guardians of the estates were strictly supervised. The chamber was involved in the politics, commerce, and financial life of New Amsterdam. With the English takeover of New Netherland in 1664, the chamber ceased to exist and the English courts assumed responsibility for the care of orphans.

    Abstract Discusses religious toleration in the Delaware River Valley before 1683 in order to shed light on the significance of Pennsylvania as a haven of religious pluralism in colonial America. The article traces changes in religious diversity and toleration in the region under Swedish, Dutch, and English rule from the first short-lived experiments in religious toleration in 1640 and 1654, when officials in Lutheran New Sweden granted limited toleration to specific groups of Dutch Reformed colonists, through the settlement of Quakers in West Jersey beginning in the 1670's. During this period, colonists preferred the stability and security of an established church but sometimes found that limited toleration was in their best interests.

  • The People of New Netherland: Notes on Non-English Immigration to New York in the Seventeenth Century
    Item Type Journal Article
    Author Oliver A. Rink
    Abstract Analysis of immigrants in New Netherland reveals the colony's demographic problems. Early attempts to settle families in the colony went awry as the West India Company failed to develop a consistent settlement policy. The patroonship system also failed, except for Rensselaerswyck. The New England type nuclear family migration did not occur in Rensselaerswyck prior to 1644. Most immigrants were single young men. Between 1644 and the 1650's, immigrant families appeared, as did black slaves, who did not remain long before they were sold to planters in Maryland and Virginia. The immigration of the non-Dutch gave New Netherland a culturally heterogeneous society. Based on archival sources in Amsterdam and The Hague, the Netherlands and published primary sources; 2 illus., map, 4 tables, 73 notes.

    Author Jeroen Dewulf
    Abstract The Pinkster King and the King of Kongo presents the history of the nation's forgotten Dutch slave community and free Dutch-speaking African Americans from seventeenth-century New Amsterdam to nineteenth-century New York and New Jersey. It also develops a provocative new interpretation of one of America's most intriguing black folkloric traditions, Pinkster. Jeroen Dewulf rejects the usual interpretation of this celebration of a "slave king" as a form of carnival. Instead, he shows that it is a ritual rooted in mutual-aid and slave brotherhood traditions. By placing these traditions in an Atlantic context, Dewulf identifies striking parallels to royal election rituals in slave communities elsewhere in the Americas, and he traces these rituals to the ancient Kingdom of Kongo and the impact of Portuguese culture in West-Central Africa.

  • The Punishment of Crime in Colonial New York: The Dutch Experience in Albany During the Seventeenth Century
    Item Type Book
    Author Dennis Sullivan
    Abstract Based in a highly profitable fur trade, the seventeenth century Dutch criminal justice system of the upper Hudson River Valley regulated the community with an eye toward not only maintaining peaceful social relations, but also preserving the economic system that allowed the community to survive. This work examines the punishment practices of the Beverwijck/Albany court during the seventeenth century, delineating changes that occured in those practices amid fluctuations in the fur trade and after the English conquest of New Netherland in 1664. This study shows that punishment practices were integrally linked to the economic status of the community and, after English conquest, to the introduction of English law.

  • The Punishment of Crime in the Upper Hudson River Valley, 1648-1685: From Dutch Jurisprudence to English Rule
    Item Type Thesis
    Author Dennis C. Sullivan
    Abstract The present study has examined the nature of the punishment of crime in the upper Hudson River Valley from 1648-1685. This includes principally the Dutch town of Beverwijck which later became Albany, New York after English conquest in 1664. The study begins with a description of the settlement of the colony as well as its system of criminal justice, a system that was nearly identical to that which was operational in seventeenth-century Holland. The Dutch sought to regulate all aspects of their social and economic life to the last detail. The study examines the ways in which the local court, the central governing agency of the settlement, sought to prevent criminal behavior through regulatory measures. But the impetus of the Dutch to overflow acceptable bounds of behavior was oftentimes more than regulatory measures could handle so that the court was required to intervene with punishments. The types of punishments that were meted out for various crimes, including slander and the sale of munitions and alcohol to the Indians, are discussed in detail. In addition, the influence of the economics of the fur trade on the behavior of the court and ultimately on punishment practices is examined, especially how a scarcity of furs in 1658 caused a great division in the community and a paralysis in the court. The Dutch were relieved of the colony by the English in 1664. And although the Dutch retook their holding in 1673, the English gained control again after 15 months. After 1674 especially, the Dutch settlement was increasingly subject to English influences. The study also addresses the nature of those influences, especially in the area of law and punishment, and to what extent they transformed the Dutch way of life that existed in New Netherland for over forty years.

  • The Reformed Church and the Regulation of Religious Literature in the Early Dutch Atlantic World
    Item Type Journal Article
    Author D. Noorlander
    Abstract Catechisms, Bibles, and other printed works were critical for the successful plantation and growth of Dutch religion and culture in the seventeenth-century Atlantic world. This essay examines the provision, regulation, and various controversies surrounding religious books and pamphlets in that period. Under the joint supervision of the West India Company and the Dutch Reformed churches of the Netherlands, colonial clergy were supposed to teach everyone from Company soldiers and officers to European settlers, from Africans and African slaves to Native Americans. And the clergy certainly had some missionary achievements, especially where the Company’s power was greatest. However, colonial clergy and churches also faced tremendous difficulties and fell short of their original plans and goals. Studying the different tools they had at their disposal—studying the creation (and destruction) of their printed materials—helps us see the church’s own culpability in these difficulties and failures. Early seventeenth-century Dutch Calvinism was restrictive enough and the churches of the Netherlands worried enough about deviance and heterodoxy that they unintentionally undermined their own mission and reduced the Dutch footprint overseas.

  • The Rise of Pieter Claessen Wyckoff: Social Mobility on the Colonial Frontier
    Item Type Journal Article
    Author Morton Wagman
    Abstract Biographical sketch of Pieter Claessen Wyckoff (1620-94), who arrived in America as an illiterate indentured servant, but who rose to great wealth and founded one of New York's most prominent families. Born in East Friesland, Germany, he indentured himself to Kiliaen van Rensselaer at the age of 16 to secure passage to New Netherland. After six years as an indentured laborer, Wyckoff leased a small plot of land on Rensselaer's estate and became an independent farmer. Marrying Grietie van Nes, the daughter of a prosperous merchant, Wyckoff soon became prosperous. In 1648, he led a protest against the high rents demanded by Rensselaer for the lease of his lands, and one year later he left Rensselaerwyck for Flatlands. By the mid-1650's, Wyckoff was one of the most prosperous farmers in Flatlands and in 1655 he was named as a magistrate of the village. By the time he died, he was the richest man in Flatlands. Wyckoff's story was typical of the experiences of many immigrants during the 17th century. Based on primary and secondary sources; 8 illus., 52 notes.

  • The River Indians: Mohicans Making History
    Item Type Book
    Author Shirley W. Dunn
    Abstract Shirley Dunn s new book presents a stirring look at historic events in which the Mohicans (called River Indians) participated: Leaders among the native nations on the Hudson, Mohicans welcomed Henry Hudson, who visited them for 13 days. They initiated the upriver fur trade and continued it for a century. Mohicans were close friends with the Dutch leader, Arent Van Curler, and helped save the farms of Rensselaerswyck. They fought beside English soldiers in wars against Canada from 1690 to 1765, protected Albany from attack from Canada, and enlisted in the Revolution on the American side. Dunn emphasizes the importance of the Mohicans to the history of New York colony and state. Today, many of us live on land from Dutchess County to Lake Champlain that once was theirs.

  • The Role of Affinity in New Netherland Border Disputes: A Reevaluation of Dutch-English Relations in New Netherland, 1624–1674
    Item Type Thesis
    Author Kenneth James Richards
    Abstract This dissertation reexamines Dutch-English relations in New Netherland and New England during the pre- and inter-English-conquest periods from 1624 to 1674. Specifically, this dissertation reevaluates the New Netherland-New England border disputes that transpired prior to the English conquest and the so-called Dutch resistance and violence that followed the English conquest. Where other historians have found post-English-conquest resistance to English culture, this historian finds pre-English-conquest cultural affinity that carried over into the inter-conquest period. Originating in fourteenth- to seventeenth-century London, Dutch-English affinity was the byproduct of centuries of nearly identical political, economic, spiritual, and syntactical interaction. Such interaction left both societies with closely related culture, institutions, and world outlook. While they were not the same people, one could easily assume they sprang from the same source. So successful was Dutch-English affinitive accommodation that the Dutch were able to spark a power-sharing scheme that left the Dutch in charge of their own affairs during the inter-conquest period. Such affairs included relative control of New Netherland's Dutch courts and the economy. Historians of ethnicity measure the post-English-conquest survival of Dutch culture in decades. New Netherland's post-English-conquest alliance was not the result of such a limited period but of centuries of interaction before they even met in Amsterdam, Leiden, or New Netherland. Rather than engaging in post-English-conquest resistance and violence, New Netherlanders continued to engage the New and the Old English in affinitive interaction. Believing the English conquest was a ruse to gain control of the New England colonies, the New English of Long Island and New England systematically resisted Colonel Richard Nicolls, Charles II's commander, and New York's first governor, and Francis Lovelace, New York's second governor.

  • The Roots of Religious Freedom in Early America: Religious Toleration and Religious Diversity in New Netherland and Colonial New York
    Item Type Journal Article
    Author Paul Finkleman
    Abstract The article discusses the history of religious freedom in Dutch New Netherland and early English New York. According to the author, toleration in the region was not ideologically-based but was instead a practical measure used to encourage settlement and commerce in frontier lands. Details on debates between Petrus Stuyvesant, the colony's director-general, and the Dutch West India Company (WIC) over religious toleration are presented. It is suggested that Jews played a significant role in the region's economic development and in the development of government policy supporting religious diversity. The region's Quaker, Lutheran, and English Protestant communities are also discussed.

  • The Saltwater Frontier: Indians and the Contest for the American Coast
    Item Type Book
    Author Andrew Lipman
    Abstract Andrew Lipman’s eye-opening first book is the previously untold story of how the ocean became a “frontier” between colonists and Indians. When the English and Dutch empires both tried to claim the same patch of coast between the Hudson River and Cape Cod, the sea itself became the arena of contact and conflict. During the violent European invasions, the region’s Algonquian-speaking Natives were navigators, boatbuilders, fishermen, pirates, and merchants who became active players in the emergence of the Atlantic World. Drawing from a wide range of English, Dutch, and archeological sources, Lipman uncovers a new geography of Native America that incorporates seawater as well as soil. Looking past Europeans’ arbitrary land boundaries, he reveals unseen links between local episodes and global events on distant shores. Lipman’s book “successfully redirects the way we look at a familiar history” (Neal Salisbury, Smith College). Extensively researched and elegantly written, this latest addition to Yale’s seventeenth-century American history list brings the early years of New England and New York vividly to life.

  • The Saltwater Frontier: Indians, Dutch, and English on Seventeenth-Century Long Island Sound
    Item Type Thesis
    Author Andrew Charles Lipman
    Abstract This dissertation examines the changing cultural geography of the American shoreline near Long Island Sound from 1600 to 1664. The region was one of the most dramatic and dynamic regions in all of early America, largely because of the extraordinary proximity of the "New Netherland" and "New England" colonists. Though colonial claims frequently overlapped, at no other place in North America did two rival European nations place their villages so close together. The Sound's waves of intercultural violence and suspicion were part of a larger, related process of cultural exchange. Just as all the wars of the region were, in various ways, entangled with each other, so too were the respective material cultures of the Sound's three major peoples: Algonquians, Dutch, and English. This project's narrative and analysis are built on a wide base of English and Dutch letters, diaries, laws, administrative minutes, travel accounts, war narratives, and court records, along with the archeological site reports, historic images, maps, ship plans, and blueprints for forts. The many points of political and material exchange between peoples meant that all the region's borders were porous and all its conflicts could spill into each other. The Sound in the seventeenth century should be seen as a saltwater frontier: a place where relations between Indians, Dutch, and English were fluid, shifting, and stormy.

    Item Type Journal Article
    Author Joyce D. Goodfriend
    Abstract Examines the social dimension of church membership in New York City during 1664-1730. Ethnicity was important in the early period in choosing affiliation with the Dutch Reformed, Huguenot, and Anglican churches. The least ethnically-associated church members were the Quakers, Jews, and Lutherans. Increasingly homogenous English ways and language decreased the significance of ethnicity as a criterion for church affiliation. Many Dutch Reformed adherents joined the Anglican faith, and internal conflict within Dutch and Huguenot congregations resulted in some transference of church membership.

    Item Type Journal Article
    Author Joyce D. Goodfriend
    Abstract Discusses African Americans in the Dutch West India Company settlement of New Amsterdam. During 1639-55, many African adults had their children baptized in the city's Dutch Reformed Church in hopes of helping them in the struggle to escape from enslavement. The city's prosperity grew with expanding trade in the 1650's. During this period, authority over Africans expanded from the company to city officials and individual slaveholders. In response, free Africans attempted to safeguard their children through labor contracts and apprenticeships. In addition, through the 1660's, ties to the Christian community established through baptism continued to be sought out by Africans as a step toward freedom.

  • The Stadhuis of New Amsterdam: New York's First City Hall
    Item Type Thesis
    Author Regina Maria Kellerman
    Abstract The Stadhuis of New Amsterdam, New York's first City Hall, was the first seat of municipal government in North America and one of the most ambitious structures to be erected on the Atlantic coast during the first half of the seventeenth century. Built by the Dutch West India Company in the 1640's as the official inn of its seaport capital of New Netherland, the building became the Stadhuis, or City Hall, in 1653, serving in that capacity under Dutch and later English colonial rule until 1699, when it was sold at public auction and demolished. This thesis brings together new information about the Stadhuis based on a comparison of seventeenth-century town plans and views of the colonial seaport as New Amsterdam and then as New York; a study of the original Dutch and English archival records of the City and State and of other contemporaneous documentary sources in their original form, as opposed to long-accepted and often-erroneous published translations and transcription; in situ evidence discovered in the 1970-1971 archaeological exploration of the Stadhuis site; and comparative research, including first-hand investigation and observation in the Netherlands, of buildings similar to the Stadhuis in general type, style, and construction. Reconstruction plans developed from the foregoing evidence are included.

  • The States General and the Stadholder: Dutch Diplomatic Practices in the Atlantic World before the West India Company
    Item Type Journal Article
    Author Mark Meuwese
    Abstract After a discussion of the States General and the office of stadholder as the two key institutions of Dutch sovereignty in Dutch foreign relations, this article analyzes to what extent the two institutions were involved in Dutch diplomacy with non-European peoples in the Atlantic World before the founding of the West India Company in 1621. On the Gold Coast and in West-Central Africa, regions controlled by centralized states and shaped by the presence of Iberian colonizers, Dutch traders relied on the support of the States General and the stadholder to establish alliances. On the Wild Coast of South America and in New Netherland, uncontested regions dominated by decentralized Indigenous groups, Dutch merchants did not require the diplomatic support of the States General or the stadholder but instead established alliances based on local Indigenous protocol.

  • The Struggle for Freedom and Equality. African-Americans in New Jersey, 1624-1849/1850
    Item Type Thesis
    Author George Fishman
    Abstract This study documents a continuous struggle for freedom and equality by African Americans in New Jersey from 1624 to 1849/50. It relates the struggle to systemic labor and racial oppression, encompassing enslavement, inequality for free persons of color, and racist villification. Beginning with the kidnapping of Africans by European commercial trans-Atlantic slave-traders, the oppression was continued by mercantilist capitalism under the successive empires of the Dutch, Swedes and English. The struggle gained strength from African civilization and resistance. It also gained strength from Indian, abolitionist and Marxist working-class allies. The study views the yearning and struggle for freedom, equality and a better life as the central focus of African Americans and for relations with the larger society. The study examines myriad forms of African American resistance. Black people made gains in New Jersey from an early date on. Free Black people were here before the first English settlers. By c. 1700 Gouldtown, a multi-racial community of free persons, emerged. The study argues that the freedom struggle and especially the equality aspect has been obscured by the focus on slavery. It views the struggle as being guided by the goals of both freedom and equality. The cause of equality and the free African American role received paramount focus with the sizeable growth of free African American population, communities, organizations, leadership and outreach, starting with the post-revolutionary period. The National Black Convention movement (1830-1865), with much New Jersey involvement, raised the African American public role to a new level. The African American struggle was conducted in the face of lingering slavery and increasingly virulent upper class white supremacy policies, including an attempt beginning in 1817, to expatriate free African Americans. The long-range significance of the African American freedom/equality struggle for democratic rights was clear in the next decades with African American support for the Union and U.S. Constitution against the forces of New Jersey white supremacy and Cooperheadism. The study argues for a regional approach and against Nev Jersey invisibility and exceptionalism.

  • The Synod of Dort and the Persistence of Dutchness in Nineteenth-Century New York and New Jersey
    Item Type Journal Article
    Author Firth Haring Fabend
    Abstract Well into the 19th century, observers reported that New York and northern New Jersey had maintained their distinct colonial-era Dutch features. Manners, customs, dress, language, and architecture set this region apart, and the prinicipal reason for this was the influence of the Dutch Reformed Church, which followed ideas and policies founded in Europe in the Synod of Dort (1618-19) to preserve separateness. This changed slowly and did not dissipate until the 20th century approached.

    Abstract In mid-1968, a document called the Tawagonshi Treaty, allegedly struck between the Dutch and the Mohawk Indians, came to light in an article in 'The Indian Historian' (see entry 11A:3702). If authentic, the treaty, dated 21 April 1613, might be the earliest agreement between Europeans and Indians. The article was written by Dr. L. G. van Loon of Hawaii; he continued to claim its authenticity until his death in 1985. A thorough study using internal and external evidence, however, reveals that the treaty is not genuine, though van Loon's motives for publishing his article are unclear.

  • The Trade Between Western Africa and the Atlantic World, 1600–90: Estimates of Trends in Composition and Value
    Item Type Journal Article
    Author Ernst Van den Boogaart
    Abstract Extending the approach of David Eltis and Lawrence C. Jennings to the 17th century (see entries 40A:8134, 42A:1051), takes estimates for the decades 1623-32 and 1680-90 as the starting points for a discussion of trends in the composition and value of the Atlantic imports and exports of Western Africa. Contrary to prevalent opinion, at least from 1600 onward the value of slave exports was two to three times higher than that of commodity exports, as measured according to the prices in America and Europe; however, during most of the century more imports were bartered in the commodity trade than in the slave trade, since the trading margin in the latter sector was considerably higher than in the former. The different margins go some way to explaining why the Portuguese concentrated on the slave trade from Angola between 1600 and 1635, which they could carry on with fewer European imports and more effectively protect, while the more efficient Dutch merchants achieved primacy in the competitive commodity trade of West Africa. The different margins also meant a very uneven distribution of imports over coastal regions. Owing to the predominance of Akan gold in the commodity trade, the Gold Coast drew an estimated 50% of all imports at the beginning of the century and still accounted for 34% at the end. Owing to its predominance in the slave trade, West-Central Africa drew 25% of all imports throughout the century. The few available data on the composition of imports suggest that there may have been a shift from metal goods to textiles and a marked increase of Asian textiles and cowries. From 1593 on the Dutch may have initiated a shift in the gross barter terms of trade in favor of the African merchants, who spread from the Gold Coast to other areas when the northwestern Europeans obtained the major share in the Atlantic slave trade.

  • The Worlds of the Seventeenth-Century Hudson Valley
    Item Type Book
    Editor L. H. Roper
    Editor Jaap Jacobs
    Abstract Essays by eleven prominent scholars provide the latest insights into the seventeenth-century history of the Hudson Valley and its environs.This book provides an in-depth introduction to the issues involved in the expansion of European interests to the Hudson River Valley, the cultural interaction that took place there, and the colonization of the region. Written in accessible language by leading scholars, these essays incorporate the latest historical insights as they explore the new world in which American Indians and Europeans interacted, the settlement of the Dutch colony that ensued from the exploration of the Hudson River, and the development of imperial and other networks which came to incorporate the Hudson Valley.“This well-conceived volume illuminates the various contexts of life in the seventeenth-century Hudson Valley. Both laymen and specialists will gain new insights from the twelve essays, which reveal everything from the European background of tolerance and inter-imperial strife to the significance of wampum and the role of a Native model of inter-group relations that shaped Iroquois ties with the Dutch.” — Willem Klooster, author of Revolutions in the Atlantic World: A Comparative History “A perfect tribute to the Hudson Valley’s unique history and how it changed forever in the decades following Henry Hudson’s 1609 voyage! The essays in this rich collection capture the complex, interconnected world experienced by those who lived in the Hudson River Valley in the seventeenth century, a place at the crossroads of four continents, an area contested by three emerging empires, a valley where Munsee, Mahican, and Mohawk interacted with European cultures. Both professional historians and those new to the field will be intrigued by the wide variety of topics. This collection by an esteemed group of historians makes an outstanding contribution to both New Netherland and Atlantic history.” — Dennis J. Maika, New Netherland Institute.

  • The Yeoman Ideal: A Dutch Family in the Middle Colonies, 1660-1800
    Item Type Thesis
    Author Firth Haring Fabend
    Abstract In the decade after the British Conquest of New Netherland, thirteen families, most of Dutch background, cooperatively purchased a tract of land on the west side of the Hudson River, established a cohesive church-oriented community, set about advancing their economic and political opportunities in British America, and in general began living out what later came to be thought of as the "yeoman ideal"--Jefferson's vision of America as a nation of independent, virtuous, and politically aware farmers. This study investigates one of these families--the Haring family--from its New Netherland beginnings to its reasons for leaving British New York to its demographic characteristics and its goals, values, ideals, and strategies for betterment. The political and religious orientation of the family (Leislerian and Pietist), its material culture, its agricultural methods, the farm economy, and its inheritance patterns over five generations receive major attention. Also considered in depth are the schism in the Dutch Reformed Church over "home rule" and the New Light Revival and the schism's foreshadowing of issues increasingly prominent as the Revolution approached--particularly as they relate to the Leislerian and Pietist backgrounds of the settler generation. From church records, land, tax, court, town, military and probate records in public archives a fascinating portrait emerges of this colonial farming-class family. But it is a picture that is in some respects puzzling, for it also raises a number of questions: Why did the Dutch farming families in New York and New Jersey retain their Dutchness over so many generations? What could "Dutchness," in fact, have been after 200 years in America? Was it a defense against the process of change from an agricultural to a commercial society? Did the "Dutch" farmer nostalgically reinvent in the nineteenth century a remembered golden age? Or did the Dutch have reason to be ambivalent about America and about becoming American? Answers are forthcoming by reconstituting this specific Dutch-descended family through the public record and examining the totality of its experience in America--from New Netherland to the new republic.

  • "They Have Invaded the Whole River": Boundary Negotiations in Anglo-Dutch Colonial Discourse
    Item Type Journal Article
    Author Sabine Klein
    Abstract This article argues that boundary contestations between competing colonial powers in seventeenth-century North America need to be understood within a global context. Focusing on Dutch and English colonial and metropolitan writings of the mid-seventeenth century, the article outlines a shift in the way territory was understood by the two competing nations. Colonial powers had originally relied on fixed national traditions to justify their acquisition of colonial territory across the globe; yet, by the mid-seventeenth century colonial powers relied increasingly on an emerging legally codified system to describe territory. By situating Dutch and English colonial and metropolitan writings about intercolonial boundary disputes in North America within the context of both national traditional and emerging international legal systems of territory, the article links seemingly local colonial issues to a global network spanning multiple metropolitan centers and colonial peripheries.

  • “This Is That Which . . . They Call Wampum”
    Item Type Journal Article
    Author Paul Otto
    Abstract The Native American–European encounter created a multitude of opportunities for understanding and misunderstanding. Linguistic and cultural barriers contributed to the complexity of cross-cultural understanding. In the case of tubular shell beads known today as wampum, Europeans sought a suitable term to describe the unfamiliar cultural goods that served Native people in ways unfamiliar to Europeans. The French, Dutch, and English experimented with diverse terms—both Native and European—eventually settling on porcelaine, sewant, and wampum, respectively. In doing so, they drew on their linguistic and cultural backgrounds while coming to terms with the Native American languages they encountered. A study of these cross-cultural interactions reveals the nuances and the limits of European understanding, and it demonstrates the cultural linguistic legacy of European colonization.

  • "This New Face of Things": Imperial Strangers, the Common Law, and Subject Rights in New York City, 1664-1765
    Item Type Thesis
    Author Matthew Lawrence Williams
    Abstract When English naval forces seized control of New Amsterdam in August 1664, they encountered a heterogeneous population well-accustomed to Dutch law and tradition. Over the next century, English governors and colonial assemblies replaced Dutch customs with English common law courts and observed English trade regulations, a process which historians term "Anglicization". One of the most vital transformations that resulted from English rule involved the significance of being an English subject in an ethnically and religiously diverse province. Natural born subjects, either men or women born in England or born abroad to an English father, enjoyed all of the prerogatives of the common law and the protection of the king. The arrival of Jewish, German, and French immigrants swelled the city's population and complicated subjecthood as the prime currency of English rule. As non-Anglos obtained the limited legal rights of denizens and trading rights as freemen, women appealed for justice in common law courts. In light of their efforts, a central problem arises. How did the experiences of diverse populations in colonial New York complicate historical understandings of Anglicization? To answer this question, the dissertation uses several case studies to contextualize the experiences of Jews, German Palatines, French Huguenots and women under English rule in New York City until 1765. It shows how ethnic and gendered "strangers" – a term used by common law jurists and political commentators to describe foreigners and outsiders unfamiliar with common law customs – took advantage of denization to improve their legal standing in New York. In doing so, diverse groups of strangers broadened the narrow dimensions of subjecthood while fulfilling the British need to populate a colony increasingly vital to its imperial expansion. While no group's experience replicated another's, the process by which strangers became subjects indicates a more effective way to understand colonial social development beyond the accepted model of Anglicization.

  • To 'experiment with a parcel of negros': Incentive, Collaboration, and Competition in New Amsterdam’s Slave Trade
    Item Type Journal Article
    Author Dennis J. Maika
    Abstract In late 1659, the Dutch West India Company’s Amsterdam Chamber began an “experiment” intended to bring a regularized slave trade to New Amsterdam. With Curaçao as a reliable source of enslaved Africans, the Amsterdam Chamber opened the slave trade to independent investors and merchants, following a collaborative model between a state-sponsored corporation and private investors used elsewhere in the seventeenth-century Dutch Atlantic world. A variety of commercial actors responded to the experiment, devising speculative strategies to incorporate enslaved people into their commercial portfolios. This essay tracks the strategies conceived by New Amsterdam merchants, local wic representatives, and some independent Amsterdam investors, and reveals the experiment’s uneven progression, modulated by changing regional conditions and regular adjustments and reversals by the Amsterdam Chamber. This article adds a new dimension to studies of the early North American regional slave trade, typically seen from an English perspective, by appreciating Dutch New Amsterdam’s legacy.

  • To Assert Our Right Before It Be Quite Lost": The Leisler Rebellion in the Delaware River Valley
    Item Type Journal Article
    Author David William Voorhees
    Abstract The activities of and rebellion led by Jacob Leisler had a strong influence on the Delaware Valley as well as the province of New York. He was involved in the 'Nadere Reformatie' (Further Reformation) movement of the 1680's that opposed centralized English dominance. The movement spread into the Delaware Valley and had a following in New Castle, Delaware. His views on self-determination were to have a lasting effect in the valley and fueled a secessionist movement in Delaware. In the 18th century, Delaware's People's Party still maintained a Leislerian legacy.

    Abstract Discusses the relationship between 17th-century "mother-city" Amsterdam and its "daughter-town" New Amsterdam by examining woodcuts and copper-plate engravings that represent both the Netherlands and its colonies. These pieces, through their images, metaphors, and mottos, give an idea of the Dutch national character as well as the attitudes that 15th- and 16th-century Dutch elites had toward Dutch colonial possessions. The case of the Amsterdam-New Amsterdam relationship demonstrates that Netherland's commercial powerbrokers desired a semiautonomous status for colonial entities, a situation that would advance mutual prosperity through trade and commerce. Consequently, they showed little interest in establishing or maintaining strict imperial or colonial control.

    Author Diana diZerega Wall
    Abstract This pocket-sized guidebook takes the reader on eight walking tours to archaeological sites throughout the boroughs of New York City and presents a new way of exploring the city through the rich history that lies buried beneath it. Generously illustrated and replete with maps, the tours are designed to explore both ancient times and modern space.On these tours, readers will see where archaeologists have discovered evidence of the earliest New Yorkers, the Native Americans who arrived at least 11,000 years ago. They will learn about thousand-year-old trading routes, sacred burial grounds, and seventeenth-century villages. They will also see sites that reveal details of the lives of colonial farmers and merchants, enslaved Africans, Revolutionary War soldiers, and nineteenth-century hotel keepers, grocers, and housewives.Some tours bring readers to popular tourist attractions (the Statue of Liberty and the Wall Street district, for example) and present them in a new light. Others center on places that even the most seasoned New Yorker has never seen—colonial houses, a working farm, out-of-the-way parks, and remote beaches—often providing beautiful and unexpected views from the city’s vast shoreline.A celebration of New York City’s past and its present, this unique book will intrigue everyone interested in the city and its history./DIV

  • Trade, Land, Power: The Struggle for Eastern North America
    Item Type Book
    Author Daniel K. Richter
    Abstract "In this sweeping collection of essays, one of America's leading colonial historians reinterprets the struggle between Native peoples and Europeans in terms of how each understood the material basis of power. Throughout the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries in eastern North America, Natives and newcomers alike understood the close relationship between political power and control of trade and land, but they did so in very different ways. For Native Americans, trade was a collective act. The alliances that made a people powerful became visible through material exchanges that forged connections among kin groups, villages, and the spirit world. The land itself was often conceived as a participant in these transactions through the blessings it bestowed on those who gave in return. For colonizers, by contrast, power tended to grow from the individual accumulation of goods and landed property more than from collective exchange--from domination more than from alliance. For many decades,an uneasy balance between the two systems of power prevailed. Tracing the messy process by which global empires and their colonial populations could finally abandon compromise and impose their definitions on the continent, Daniel K. Richter casts penetrating light on the nature of European colonization, the character of Native resistance, and the formative roles that each played in the origins of the United States."--Publisher's website

  • Trading between New Netherland and New England, 1624–1664
    Item Type Journal Article
    Author Kim Todt
    Abstract Abstract: Despite political disputes between the governments of New Netherland and the English colonies of New England, little interfered with trade and the commercial networks that developed between merchants in New Netherland and New England. Demonstrating a richer and more internationally diversified economic environment than has been previously portrayed, this article examines the sophisticated trading world New England merchants entered when they chose to conduct business with merchants from New Netherland, with its commercial and legal infrastructures that accommodated foreign merchants. As well, New England's nascent economies needed to facilitate commerce and they too encouraged and accommodated trade with the Dutch. For seventeenth-century merchants in New Netherland and New England, intercolonial trade supplied necessary sustenance, expanded merchant networks, and presented opportunities for profit.

  • Treason in the Northern Quarter: War, Terror, and the Rule of Law in the Dutch Revolt
    Item Type Book
    Author Henk Van Nierop
    Abstract "In the spring of 1575, Holland's Northern Quarter - the waterlogged peninsula stretching from Amsterdam to the North Sea - was threatened with imminent invasion by the Spanish army. Since the outbreak of the Dutch Revolt a few years earlier, the Spanish had repeatedly failed to expel the rebels under William of Orange from this remote region, and now there were rumors that the war-weary population harbored traitors conspiring to help the Spanish invade. In response, rebel leaders arrested a number of vagrants and peasants, put them on the rack, and brutally tortured them until they confessed and named their principals - a witch-hunt that eventually led to a young Catholic lawyer named Jan Jeroenszoon." "Treason in the Northern Quarter tells how Jan Jeroenszoon, through great personal courage and faith in the rule of law, managed to survive gruesome torture and vindicate himself by successfully arguing at trial that the authorities remained subject to the law even in times of war. Henk van Nierop uses Jan Jeroenszoon's exceptional story to give the first account of the Dutch Revolt from the point of view of its ordinary victims - town burghers, fugitive Catholic clergy, peasants, and vagabonds. For them the Dutch Revolt was not a heroic struggle for national liberation but an ordinary dirty war, something to be survived, not won."--Jacket.

  • Unearthing Gotham: The Archaeology of New York City
    Item Type Book
    Author Anne-Marie Cantwell
    Author Diana diZerega Wall
    Abstract Under the teeming metropolis that is present-day New York City lie the buried remains of long-lost worlds. The remnants of nineteenth-century New York reveal much about its inhabitants and neighborhoods, from fashionable Washington Square to the notorious Five Points. Underneath there are traces of the Dutch and English colonists who arrived in the area in the seventeenth century, as well as of the Africans they enslaved. And beneath all these layers is the land that Native Americans occupied for hundreds of generations from their first arrival eleven thousand years ago. Now two distinguished archaeologists draw on the results of more than a century of excavations to relate the interconnected stories of these different peoples who shared and shaped the land that makes up the modern city. In treating New York's five boroughs as one enormous archaeological site, Anne-Marie Cantwell and Diana diZerega Wall weave Native American, colonial, and post-colonial history into an absorbing, panoramic narrative. They also describe the work of the archaeologists who uncovered this evidence--nineteenth-century pioneers, concerned citizens, and today's professionals. In the process, Cantwell and Wall raise provocative questions about the nature of cities, urbanization, the colonial experience, Indian life, the family, and the use of space. Engagingly written and abundantly illustrated, Unearthing Gotham offers a fresh perspective on the richness of the American legacy.

    Abstract Examines Washington Irving's representation of Dutch life in New York and the influence that Dutch literature and culture had on him by analyzing his 1809 novel 'A History of New York, by Diedrich Knickerbocker.' Irving relied on Dutch-language novels, historical records, his own personal experience, and the popular 1632 etiquette guide 'Speigel van den Ouden en Nieuwen,' to inform his treatment of Dutch culture. 'Knickerbocker' serves as a humorous account of colonial life but also as an accurate portrayal of Dutch colonial traditions, popular culture, and everyday life.

    Abstract Corrects some of the errors in the Jeremiah Johnson translation of the 'Description of New Netherland' (the 1841 and 1968 English editions of the Dutch publication of 1655). Johnson frequently misconstrued and even reversed author Adriaen van der Donck's meaning, particularly in wrong descriptions of Indian life. The article reprints in translation four chapters deleted in the Johnson version: "The Netherlanders - First Possessors of New Netherland," "Of the General Rights of Nations," "Of Their [Indian] Presents and Veneration Ceremonies," and "Of the Savages' Government and General Police Force.

  • Wampum Production in New Netherland and Colonial New York: The Historical and Archaeological Context
    Item Type Thesis
    Author Elizabeth Shapiro Pena
    Abstract Wampum, tubular beads made from clam or conch shell, played a significant role in the economy of New Netherland and colonial New York. How the Dutch colonists and their descendants used wampum is important in understanding their economic adaptation to North America. Six archaeological sites from downtown Albany, New York, serve as the core of this investigation of wampum use and production: the KeyCorp Site, the State Street Blockhouse Site, the Broadway Blockhouse Site, the State Street/Pearl Street Site, the State Street/Broadway Street Site, and Fort Orange. The wampum production tools and debris from the KeyCorp site had been considered to have a 17th-century date; however, a careful stratigraphic analysis of the material culture now reveals this evidence to date to the last three quarters of the 18th century. While Fort Orange does contain some mid-17th century evidence of wampum production, an examination of the archaeological record suggests that production at the remaining four sites in downtown Albany occurred during the mid- to late 18th century. This study assesses the archaeological data in context with information gleaned from primary and secondary documentary sources regarding wampum and its role in economy and culture. A comparison of the history of wampum in New Netherland/New York with its record in New England leads to the suggestion that the divergence between the two areas can be attributed to different, specifically Dutch and English patterns of economic behavior. Wampum is interpreted as a dynamic object that becomes transformed in function and meaning by its users, from use by Native Americans as a "primitive valuable", to the Dutch colonial adoption of wampum as cash, and finally to its alteration to a commodity to be sold in exchange for cash. This dissertation considers the historical reasons for these transformations and their significance in the culture and economy of 17th- and 18th-century New Netherland and New York. It provides a case study of how members of a complex, highly monetized society react when they are unable to rely upon their customary medium of exchange, specie.

  • Wampum, Tawagonshi, and the Two Row Belt
    Item Type Journal Article
    Author Paul Otto
    Abstract This essay outlines the early history of wampum, explaining its origin, its value to Native Americans, and its first observations by Europeans. It then considers how wampum, as it existed in the 1610s, fits the role of wampum as described in the Tawagonshi document and fits with its manifestation in the Two Row Belt. The essay argues that key elements in the Tawagonshi document and the Two Row Belt itself are inconsistent with wampum use as recorded in archaeological, documentary, and visual sources. This finding does not discount the possibility of a Dutch-Native agreement similar to the one recorded in the Tawagonshi document that included wampum rituals and the creation of a wampum belt such as the Two Row Belt.

  • Weathering Extremes: Climate, Colonialism, and Indigenous Resistance in the Dutch Atlantic
    Item Type Thesis
    Author Nicholas Jordan Cunigan
    Abstract Weathering Extremes demonstrates how seventeenth-century climate changes mingled with cultural, social, economic, agro-ecological, and geopolitical forces to catalyze three simultaneous, though geographically disparate, indigenous resistance movements between 1636 and 1645. In Brazil, Curaçao, and the Hudson Valley, indigenous peoples deployed violent and non-violent means of resistance to confront the Dutch West India Company. This broadly interdisciplinary project utilizes natural proxy sources such as pollen samples, ice cores, and tree rings in conjunction with ethnohistorical and Dutch archival sources to reconstruct how early seventeenth-century extreme weather events catalyzed these movements. El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) events, volcanic eruptions, and reduced sunspot activity led to drought, heavy rain, and abnormally cold temperatures throughout the Americas. Extreme weather compounded the worst consequences of European colonialism on indigenous societies including disease epidemics, livestock destruction, and political instability. Harvest failures exacerbated the Company’s financial ills, decreased cash and subsistence crop production, and led to local abuses of indigenous groups. Indigenous peoples and the Dutch West India Company responded to climate-induced situations based on culturally, politically, and geographically contingent factors. The diversity of responses in each case study illustrates how climate is only deterministic in its ability to provoke human responses: the Wappinger of New Netherland responded to climatological changes and European colonialism through direct militant confrontation; the Tapuyas and Brasilianen of Dutch Brazil reacted via shifting diplomatic allegiances and intermittent violence; and the Caquetio of Curaçao invoked foot-dragging, desertion, and false compliance. This project makes several contributions to environmental, early modern Atlantic, and indigenous peoples’ history. First, it draws attention to the impact of seventeenth-century climate on indigenous and Dutch interactions in the Americas. Next, it uses paleoclimatological sources to show how climate-induced vulnerabilities provoked diplomacy, negotiation, and/or conflict in colonial settings. It reverses common assumptions of indigenous dependency and demonstrates the importance of indigenous peoples, labor, and sovereignty in shaping European colonialism. Finally, it deploys an intercolonial analysis to move beyond local case-study and world-system examinations of the Dutch Atlantic to explore how the Dutch West India Company emerged as an interdependent and overlapping web of connections. This project argues that the three climatologically-induced indigenous resistance movements coincided with the Company’s territorial zenith and collectively led to the Company’s destabilization, 1674 bankruptcy, and eventual re-establishment as a key player in the trans-Atlantic slave trade.

  • Who Cared? The Poor in Colonial New York City, 1628-1753
    Item Type Thesis
    Author Irmgard Elisabeth Carras
    Abstract This dissertation examines poor relief in New York City during the 1628-1750 period from a multiplex perspective incorporating aspects of social, political, economic, urban, religious and family history. It uses previously untapped New York City municipal, religious, and private records to question the assumption that most poor relief in this period was supplied by religious groups and private individuals rather than by municipal governments, and as a result was more humane. In addition it asks if certain types of poor relief, considered as ancient rights, were obliterate by the growth of new world cities like New York. In the early Dutch period, settlers laboring under harsh conditions which left some ill, injured, widowed or orphaned, called upon their government and church in the Netherlands to force the Dutch West India Company to establish the poor relief institutions they enjoyed at home. Subsequently, the Dutch Reformed Church, supported by municipal taxes as well as member contributions, became the agency which gave alms to all bona fide residents of the city in need. Poor relief distributed through religious organizations and municipal agencies, both supported by municipal taxes, became a pattern that permeated the social and political fabric of New Amsterdam, and later New York City. The imprint of the Dutch system was so deep that the English conquerors in 1664 were unsuccessful in their attempt to superimpose their poor relief system through the auspices of the Church of England. Although the Anglican Church did enjoy a privileged position in New York throughout the English period, poor relief was distributed by a municipal agency, the City Vestry, which was controlled by members of the Dutch Reformed Church. At the same time, for most of these hundred plus years, the Dutch Church itself was the main private philanthropic organization extensively aiding their own poor with private donations. Only widowed women, orphaned children, the ill, demented or injured in dire straits were considered worthy of public poor relief. Immigrants and migrants were feared as drains on public and private funds. Throughout the last three hundred years residency laws have constantly been used to withhold poor relief funds from the newcomers, particularly during periods of economic crisis.

    Abstract In Who Should Rule at Home? Joyce D. Goodfriend argues that the high-ranking gentlemen who figure so prominently in most accounts of New York City's evolution from 1664, when the English captured the small Dutch outpost of New Amsterdam, to the eve of American independence in 1776 were far from invincible and that the degree of cultural power they held has been exaggerated. The urban elite experienced challenges to its cultural authority at different times, from different groups, and in a variety of settings.Goodfriend illuminates the conflicts that pitted the privileged few against the socially anonymous many who mobilized their modest resources to creatively resist domination. Critics of orthodox religious practice took to heart the message of spiritual rebirth brought to New York City by the famed evangelist George Whitefield and were empowered to make independent religious choices. Wives deserted husbands and took charge of their own futures. Indentured servants complained or simply ran away. Enslaved women and men carved out spaces where they could control their own lives and salvage their dignity. Impoverished individuals, including prostitutes, chose not to bow to the dictates of the elite, even though it meant being cut off from the sources of charity. Among those who confronted the elite were descendants of the early Dutch settlers; by clinging to their native language and traditional faith they preserved a crucial sense of autonomy.

    Abstract Wolfert Gerritsen Van Couwenhoven was one of New Amsterdam's earliest settlers. Gerritsen came to Manhatten in 1625 with his wife and three sons as an employee of the Dutch West India Company. He ran one of the company farms but with the help of his wife branched out into the fur trade. In 1630 he rented the farm he had worked, rented one-half of another property, and contracted with Kiliaen Van Rensselaer to oversee Rensselaer's patroonship near Albany. In 1636 he and a partner took out a large land grant in what would become Brooklyn. Gerritsen prospered and became a merchant and tobacco trader. His sons were prominent in New Amsterdam. He died in 1661. Published primary sources; illus., map, 54 notes.

    Item Type Journal Article
    Author Martha Dickinson Shattuck
    Abstract Settlers in New Netherland in the mid-17th century found that the fur trade alone did not provide a prosperous living. Yet those who diversified into other sectors of the economy - farming, milling, brewing, transport, small-scale manufacturing - often did quite well. In many instances, women's active participation in the family economy, especially in trading activities, insured economic success. Dutch civil law was comparatively gender-blind, and many men in New Netherland granted their wives considerable economic freedom.

  • Women in the Early Modern Dutch Atlantic World
    Item Type Thesis
    Author Annette Michele Ricciardi
    Abstract This dissertation explores the myriad ways in which women, both overseas and in the Netherlands, engaged in the early modern Dutch Atlantic world. It argues that women in the Dutch colonies around the Atlantic perimeter and at home made significant contributions to the formation and expansion of the Atlantic World because of their participation in the public sphere. Through an examination of court and church records, in addition to notarial papers, it becomes clear that women in the Dutch territories had more independence than their peers of other European maritime powers at the time, and thus were able to exert more influence on the development of the early modern Atlantic world. Women participated in the economy in this territory not only by aiding male relatives and husbands in their business endeavors, but also by establishing themselves independently in a variety of occupations such as merchant, plantation holder, and tavern keeper. In addition, women devised several other strategies for survival and upward mobility in the colonies and territories governed by the Dutch West India Company. Many married several times while ensuring their financial independence and the inheritance of their children through prenuptial contracts. Moreover, women frequently used the courts to further their own and their families' interests. They did so in the colonies and some even traveled to the Netherlands to bring their cases to the highest court. Not only did white women in the colonies use these strategies for survival and advancement, free black women and some of the enslaved used them as well. The dissertation is divided into six chapters which examine the legal precedents set in the Netherlands with regard to women, the position of wives and widows in the Atlantic world, women's economic contributions, the position of enslaved women, and the role that concubinage and miscegenation played in the Dutch colonies. The concluding chapter explores the ways in which women in the Netherlands participated in, and were affected by, the Atlantic world. Finally, a short additional chapter deals with the travel experiences of women on board ships in the Atlantic.

    Abstract Customs records and post-1730 newspaper advertisements reveal that there were numerous women merchants in New York City during the 17th and 18th centuries. Women merchants were not allowed to participate in political decisionmaking. Economic opportunities for women declined after the American Revolution, and only now are women regaining the status in business they enjoyed in the colonial period. 2 illus., 68 notes.

    Abstract Commemorating the 400th anniversary of Henry Hudson’s voyage and the lasting legacy of Dutch culture in New York, this book explores the life and times of a fascinating woman, her family, and her things. Margrieta was born in the Netherlands but lived at the extremes of the Dutch colonial world, in Malacca on the Malay Peninsula and in Flatbush, Brooklyn. When she came to New York in 1686 with her husband and set up a shop, she brought an astonishing array of Eastern goods, many of which were documented in an inventory made after her death in 1695. Extensive archival research has enabled a collaborative team to reconstruct her story and establish the depth of her connection to Dutch trading establishments in Asia. This is a groundbreaking contribution to the histories of New York City, the Dutch overseas empire, women, and material culture.

  • ‘Yet this comes in useful for building ships’: Shipbuilding and repairs in New Netherland
    Item Type Journal Article
    Author Martijn Heijink
    Abstract Contemporaries cited the great wood reserves of the colony of New Netherland on the Hudson River as an excellent resource for shipbuilding. However, this remained a small industry during the colony’s Dutch period between 1624 and 1664. Ship repairs in New Netherland took off on a small scale: vessels calling at the colony were repaired with limited means or entirely new vessels were constructed if a ship was found to be irreparable. Skilled workers who could construct small boats were at least present in New Netherland around 1630. There is evidence for structural shipbuilding in the 1630s. In this decade, the West India Company had a small shipyard on Manhattan and employed a shipwright who was mainly concerned with building small vessels for local and regional use, as well as repairs to Company ships calling at the colony. This pattern seems to have continued in later years., The scale of shipbuilding and repairs in New Netherland was much smaller than in New England. The latter colony had a geography comparable to the former and developed a significant export trade of newly built ships. New England developed this shipbuilding industry because it lacked other export goods, such as cash crops. New Netherland did not need to do this, because it could focus on its lucrative export of beaver skins. New Netherland also faced much heavier competition from shipyards in the Netherlands than New England did from British shipyards.

  • Zion on the Hudson: Dutch New York and New Jersey in the Age of Revivals
    Item Type Book
    Author Firth Haring Fabend
    Abstract The Dutch came to the New World in the seventeenth century as explorers and traders, but religion soon followed, for it was accepted in the Netherlands that state and church were mutually benefited by advancing the “true Christian religion.” The influence of “Dutchness”—defined here as loyalty to what are presumed to be the distinctive qualities of Dutch national character and culture—persisted in New York and New Jersey for more than 200 years after Dutch emigration ended. Why?Firth Haring Fabend finds the explanation in the devotion of the Reformed Dutch Church membership to the doctrines and traditions of their church. She looks at the individual and personal beliefs and behaviors of this often-neglected ethnic group. Thus, Zion on the Hudson presents both a broad and an intimate look at the way one mainstream Protestant denomination dealt with the transformative events of the evangelical era.As Fabend describes the efforts of the Dutch to preserve the European standards and traditions of their church, while developing a taste for a new kind of theology and a preference for an American identity, she documents how Dutchness finally became a historical memory. The Americanization of the Reformed Dutch Church, Fabend writes, is a microcosm of the story of the Americanization of the United States itself.
