Narratives of New Netherland reads like a small anthology on the discovery, origins, and history of the United States, but from a Dutch, rather than traditional English, perspective. A collection of excerpts from works spanning the years 1609 to 1664, a historical picture is painted through books, letters, journal entries, and commentaries. Works focus on Henry Hudson's voyage across the Atlantic and down the Hudson River, as well as on settlers' experiences in the New World. Readers with an interest in American History will be reminded of similar stories from English settlers first experiencing the east coast. John Franklin Jameson was born in Somerville, Massachusetts in 1859. He attended Amherst College, where he graduated valedictorian and studied with several influential historians, as well as John Hopkins University, where he received the first doctorate ever awarded in the field of history in 1882. Jameson went on to become a history teacher, author, journalist and editor. He was the first professional historian to become president of the AHA, and had much influence on historians in the early 20th century. In 1928, he became the head of the Division of Manuscripts at the Library of Congress. Jameson died in 1937.

Narratives of New Netherland, 1609-1664 by J. Franklin (John Franklin) Jameson We have observed in our last book that the Directors of the East India Company in Holland had sent out in March last, on purpose to seek a passage to China by northeast or northwest, a skilful English pilot, named Henry Hudson, in a Vlie boat, having a crew of eighteen or twenty men, partly English, partly Dutch, well provided. This Henry Hudson left the Texel on the 6th of April, 1609, doubled the Cape of Norway the 5th of May, and directed his course along the northern coasts towards Nova Zembia; but he there found the sea as full of ice as he had found it in the preceding year, so that they lost the hope of effecting anything during the season. This circumstance, and the cold, which some of his men, who had been in the East Indies, could not bear, caused quarrels among the crew, they being partly English, partly Dutch, upon which Captain Hudson laid before them two propositions. The first of these was to go to the coast of America, to the latitude of 40 degrees, moved thereto mostly by letters and maps which a certain Captain Smith had sent him from Virginia, and by which he indicated to him a sea leading into the western ocean, by the north of the southern English colony. Had this information been true (experience goes as yet to the contrary), it would have been of great advantage, as indicating a short way to India. The other proposition was to direct their search through Davis's Straits. This meeting with general approval, they sailed thitherward on the 14th of May, and arrived on the last day of May with a good wind at the Faroe Islands, where they stopped but twenty-four hours, to supply themselves with fresh water. After leaving these islands, they sailed on, till on the 18th of July they reached the coast of Nova Francia, under 44 degrees, where they were obliged to run in, in order to get a new foremast, having lost theirs. They found one, and set it up. They found this a good place for cod-fishing, as also for traffic in good skins and furs, which were to be got there at a very low price. But the crew behaved badly towards the people of the country, taking their property by force, out of which there arose quarrels among themselves. The English, fearing that between the two they would be outnumbered and worsted, were therefore afraid to pursue the matter further. So they left that place on the 26th of July, and kept out at sea till the 3d of August, when they came near the coast, in 42 degrees of latitude. Thence they sailed on, till on the 12th of August they again reached the shore, under 37 degrees 45'. Thence they sailed along the shore until they reached 40 degrees 45', where they found a good entrance, between two headlands, and entered on the 12th of September into as fine a river as can be found, wide and deep, with good anchoring ground on both sides.... We are delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. The aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature, and our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. The contents of the vast majority of titles in the Classic Library have been scanned from the original works.

Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with a book that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic work, and that for you it becomes an enriching experience.

New Netherland was the 17th-century colonial province of the Republic of the Seven United Netherlands on the East Coast of North America. The claimed territories were the lands from the Delmarva Peninsula to extreme southwestern Cape Cod while the settled areas are now part of the Mid-Atlantic States of New York, New Jersey, Delaware, and Connecticut, with small outposts in Pennsylvania and Rhode Island. The provincial capital of New Amsterdam was located at the southern tip of the island of Manhattan on upper New York Bay. This collection of letters and documents show the lives and struggles of the first Dutch inhabitants to colonize Manhattan and Brooklyn in the early 17th century.

Excerpt from Narratives of New Netherland: 1609-1664 It does not appear that the plan of New Amsterdam, alluded to above, and drawn in the summer of 1660 by the surveyor Jacques Cortelyou, was ever engraved or is now extant. But there is pre served in the British Museum (king's mss., Maps, K. CXXI. But without note of its origin, a very interesting plan entitled A Description of the Towne of Mannados or New Amsterdam as it was in September, This map has, by kind permission of the authorities of the British Museum, been photographed for reproduction in this volume, and the reproduction appears as the fourth and last of our illustrations. One cannot but be struck by the close resem blance between the original title written on the map, and that of the description printed on pp. 417 - 424, post, both documents being in English; but the explanation is lacking, as we know nothing of the origin of either. Upon the map the date 1664 has been inserted below the original title and date, and British ships and flags have been added. This led the late Dr. George H. Moore, who claimed its discovery, to give it, without warrant, the name of The Duke's Plan, as if it had been demonstrably made for the benefit of James, Duke of York. Dr. Moore wrote this name upon it in the colored lithographic fac-simile in which it was first published, in Valentine's Manual of the Common Council of New York for 1859. All subse quent reproductions, except the present and that in J anvier's Found ing of New York, have been made from Moore's lithograph or his manuscript, and have repeated the unwarranted designation. It will be observed that the plan has the gates of the fort, correctly, in the middle of its north and south sides, not, as stated in the De scription in the text, on the east and west. The palisade so strongly marked on the plan, at the upper end of the town, follows from its east end the present line of Wall Street, which takes its name therefrom.
