Description
1854 New York 1ed History Revolutionary War Indians Columbus Voyages Pocahontas
“History of New Amsterdam; or, New York as it Was, in the Days of the Dutch Governors” by Professor Asahel Davis delves into the early history of New Amsterdam, now known as New York. Drawing heavily from Col. J. Romeyn Brodheads extensive research on the topic, this work was initially presented as a series of lectures given in 1853. Beyond the Dutch era, the book touches upon key historical events such as the American Revolution and the time of William Penn in Philadelphia. Notable contents include commentary on George Washington and various Native American tribes, explorations of Ferdinand de Soto, the voyages of Christopher Columbus and the Cabots, and a special feature on the life of Pocahontas. Davis accentuates the significance of historical landmarks, using them as anchors to connect past events to present sentiments at the time of publishing.
