Book Documents Relating to the History of the Dutch and Swedish Settlements on the Delaware River  Vol  12

Download or read book Documents Relating to the History of the Dutch and Swedish Settlements on the Delaware River Vol 12 written by B. Fernow and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-08 with total page 722 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Documents Relating to the History of the Dutch and Swedish Settlements on the Delaware River, Vol. 12: Translated and Compiled From Original Manuscripts in the Office of the Secretary of State, at Albany, and in the Royal Archives, at Stockholm The downfall of the Dutch authority in New York was perhaps inevitable. The colonizing impulse of the British Empire in the Seventeenth Century was so much greater than that of any other foreign power that in all human probability the unsurpassed harbor of New York and its tributaries were its natural and inevitable prey. The result, however, if it was inevitable, was precipitated by an incident of which history has taken little or no account, and which illustrates in a singular manner the difficulty attending any contemporaneous estimate of the relative influence and importance of historical causes. Long before the English had made any direct claims upon the Hudson river or upon Manhattan. Island, they had set up and were very tenacious of a paper title to the territory along the Delaware, then called the South river. The Dutch claimed the same territory by the right of prior possession, insisting that they built the first fort on the South river [delaware] in 1598.

The papers relating to the Swedish settlements were of little account in terminating the controversy, and hence were probably never copied or translated from the Archives of Sweden, which is to be regretted by the historian.

Download or read book Correspondence 1647 1653 written by Charles T. Gehring and published by Syracuse University Press. This book was released on 2000-06-01 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Volume XI of the Dutch Colonial Manuscripts comprises the correspondence of Petrus Stuyvesant from 1647 to 1653. It represents the first six years of his seventeen-year tenure as director general of New Netherland, spanning the final years of the war with Spain through the first war with England. Stuyvesant became director general of the possessions of the West India Company at a critical time in the history of the United Provinces. Major changes were taking place in European affairs. The thirty year war in Germany and the eighty-year Dutch revolt against Spain were both to be resolved within a year. England had overthrown the monarchy and was about to embark on an experiment with republicanism, which would have grave implications forthe Dutch nation. Through this volume of Stuyvesant's letters, Charles T. Gehring shows how the young Stuyvesant—only thirty-six years old when he became director—handled major problems in his administration. Through recovered correspondence from West India Company directors from Amsterdam, Gehring shows how Stuyvesant managed to confront the challenges before him. His accomplishments were many but he was renowned for the stabilization of the boundary with New England; the resolution of the dispute with the patroonship of Rensselaerswijck; and the neutralization of Swedish influence in the Delaware.

Book A History of the State of Delaware

Download or read book A History of the State of Delaware written by Francis Vincent and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-17 with total page 484 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of the State of Delaware: From Its First Settlement Until the Present Time, Containing a Full Account of the First Dutch and Swedish Settlements, With a Description of Its Geography and Geology This State having been first discovered by the Dutch, and the first settlement made by them and the Swedes, its early history must necessarily be found in those languages. These two nations inha bited the Delaware between them, and struggled for mastery, until finally the former. Reduced the latter to subjection. The Dutch officials on the Delaware sent a regular account to New York of every matter of in terest. The New York officials sent copies of those accounts to Holland. The Swedes on the Delaware sent accounts to Sweden. These several accounts, both Dutch and Swedish, have many of them been preserved either m the original manuscripts, or by re cord in books, and it is from these records and cotem porary works, written by Dutch and Swedish authors, that we are enabled to get a minute and circumstan tial account of our early history. The Dutch records by the liberality of the State of New York have been translated into English, by Broadhead and o'callighan, and published in thirty large volumes. Among these records are the letters of Budde and Beekman both of whom minutely record the occurrences on the Delaware. The corres pondence of the latter, who was governor of the ter ritory of the northern side of the Christiana, is espe cially valuable, containing, as it does, a succinct record of the events in the territory that now comprises this State from 1659 to 1664. The Swedish documents, from which we extract our principal information in relation to Swedish affairs, were furnished by Mr. Russell, our former minister to Sweden, to the American Philosophical Society of Philadelphia. They were translated and published several years ago in the Register of Pennsylvania. One of the most useful (though also, in some instances, one of the most inac curate, ) of Swedish works is that entitled, A Short Description of the Province of New Sweden, by Tito mas C'ampanias, of Holme, printed at Stockholm in the year 1702, under the patronage of Charles the 12th.
