HTML version by Al Haines. "Narratives of New Netherland, 1609-1664" by J. Franklin Jameson is a historical account edited in the early 20th century. The book compiles various narratives from early European explorers and settlers documenting their experiences and observations in what is now New York during the era of Dutch colonization. The narratives cover a wide range of topics, including exploration, indigenous peoples, trade, and the challenges faced by the colonists. The opening of the book details Henry Hudson's voyage into the New World under the auspices of the Dutch East India Company. It recounts Hudson's decision to seek an alternative route to Asia by sailing to America and his subsequent exploration along the northern coast, leading to the discovery of the Hudson River. The narrative touches on the interactions between Hudson's crew and Native Americans, the crew's challenges with supplies, and their occasional conflicts with local tribes. This sets the stage for the exploration and colonization themes that run throughout the collected works, providing insights into the dynamics of early European exploration and relations with Indigenous nations.
