Publisher's Synopsis
"The Records of New Amsterdam From 1653 to 1674 Anno Domini" offers a detailed glimpse into the judicial and administrative proceedings of the Dutch colony of New Amsterdam. Specifically, this volume covers the minutes of the Court of Burgomasters and Schepens from May 8, 1666, to September 5, 1673. These records, meticulously compiled and translated, provide invaluable insights into the daily lives, legal disputes, and governance structures of the burgeoning settlement that would later become New York City.
Authored by Berthold Fernow, Edmund Bailey O'Callaghan, and the City of New York, this historical document serves as a primary source for researchers, historians, and anyone interested in the early colonial history of North America. The records shed light on the interactions between Dutch settlers, Native Americans, and other European powers, revealing the complex social, economic, and political dynamics of the era. This volume is an essential resource for understanding the foundations of New York and its enduring legacy.
