Explorers, Fortunes and Love Letters

A Window on New Netherland

This book presents a thoroughly researched, fresh perspective of New Netherland and its place in American colonial history.

The twelve essays in Explorers, Fortunes and Love Letters present new scholarship on this distinctive society, on topics ranging from Henry Hudson's exploration in 1609 and the interactions of Dutch settlers with native Mohawks and newly arrived Jews to the dreams of fortune and the familial aspects of factional politics.

The essays also look at everyday life in the colony, including childhood, marriage, the cultural significance of bread baking, and Dutch folklore and traditions.
