Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Sketch of the First Settlement of the Several Towns on Long-Island: With Their Political Condition to the End of the American Revolution
In 1611, the merchants of Amsterdam sent out some ships with goods, and opened a trade with the natives.
In 1613, the Dutch were visited by the English from Virginia, and submitted to pay an acknowledgment to the crown of England.
In 1614, they received a reinforcement from Europe, erected a fort, and refused to submit to the English. The English in America did not think proper, or were not in a condition to renew their efforts to reduce or restrain the Dutch.
