Download or read book The Island at the Center of the World written by Russell Shorto and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2005-04-12 with total page 418 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a riveting, groundbreaking narrative, Russell Shorto tells the story of New Netherland, the Dutch colony which pre-dated the Pilgrims and established ideals of tolerance and individual rights that shaped American history. "Astonishing . . . A book that will permanently alter the way we regard our collective past." --The New York Times When the British wrested New Amsterdam from the Dutch in 1664, the truth about its thriving, polyglot society began to disappear into myths about an island purchased for 24 dollars and a cartoonish peg-legged governor. But the story of the Dutch colony of New Netherland was merely lost, not destroyed: 12,000 pages of its records–recently declared a national treasure–are now being translated. Russell Shorto draws on this remarkable archive in The Island at the Center of the World, which has been hailed by The New York Times as “a book that will permanently alter the way we regard our collective past.” The Dutch colony pre-dated the “original” thirteen colonies, yet it seems strikingly familiar. Its capital was cosmopolitan and multi-ethnic, and its citizens valued free trade, individual rights, and religious freedom. Their champion was a progressive, young lawyer named Adriaen van der Donck, who emerges in these pages as a forgotten American patriot and whose political vision brought him into conflict with Peter Stuyvesant, the autocratic director of the Dutch colony. The struggle between these two strong-willed men laid the foundation for New York City and helped shape American culture. The Island at the Center of the World uncovers a lost world and offers a surprising new perspective on our own.

Kenney and published by Syracuse : Published for the New York State American Revolution Bicentennial Commission, Syracuse University Press. This book was released on 1975 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Hudson Valley Dutch have never received the attention due them in American history. There were comparatively few of them, they did not call attention to themselves, and therefore most people are hardly aware of their existence. This book attempts to restore them to their proper place in the American heritage. Also, this book should be useful to scholars as a summary of what is now known about the Hudson Valley Dutch, as the first coherent account of the development of their way of life over the three and a half centuries from their first settlements to the present, and for its suggestion of numerous topics on which further research is needed.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Dutch New York Numerous as are the books that have been written about this Metropolis of the Western Hemisphere, I venture to hope that there is room for one more, especially one that deals with the life, hardships, struggles, manners, customs, joys, sorrows, beliefs, superstitions, and worldly possessions of the first white settlers in New Netherland. In the following pages I have tried to reproduce the daily life of the Dutch burgher in New Amsterdam, rising with him in the morning; describing his house and garden or farm, his furniture, and his costume; accompanying him through the day to his morning prayers, his break-fast, his counting-house, his midday meal, his after-noon recreation, his evening meal and devotions; accompanying him also to church and to the tavern; describing his family - christenings, courtships, weddings, and funerals, as well as the great festivals of the year - Saint Nicholas' Eve. New Year's Day, Twelfth Night, Shrovetide, May Day, Whitsuntide, Saint Martin's Eve, the Kermit, and other merry-making. I have also described his wife's activities in the household, her cleaning. marketing, and cooking. I have also fully depicted the condition of domestic servitude and schooling in the colony. I have not devoted much space to identifying old landmarks, or describing the courses of the original streets and canals, or the sites of many of the homes mentioned in the text.
