Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Olden Time in New-York
Hudson discovering that the Bay was the mouth ofam extensive river, and taking his course north east with his boat ahead to make the soundings, proceeded up and' on turning the point of the nar rows the boat unexpectedly met with seven canoes of indians, who being surprised and frightened shot at the people in the boat and killed one of them named John Coleman, and then made off as fast as they could, whence it was expected that this first instance of hostility would have broke off all intercourse with the natives, but the next day they came on board and traded as freely as if nothing had happened.
