''A History of the Schenectady Patent in the Dutch and English Times: Being Contributions Toward a History of the Lower Mohawk Valley'' is a book written by Jonathan Pearson and originally published in 1883. The book is a comprehensive historical account of the Schenectady Patent, a land grant given by the Dutch government to a group of investors in 1664. The patent included the land that is now Schenectady, New York, and the surrounding area. The book covers the period from the Dutch colonial era to the English takeover of the region in the late 17th century. Pearson’s work provides a detailed examination of the early settlers, the land disputes that arose, and the interactions between the Dutch and English during this time. The author also delves into the history of the Lower Mohawk Valley, exploring the relationships between the Native American tribes and the European settlers. Pearson’s research is extensive, drawing on primary sources such as letters, journals, and official documents to provide a rich and detailed account of the region’s history. Overall, ''A History of the Schenectady Patent in the Dutch and English Times'' is an important historical work that provides valuable insights into the early colonial period in New York State. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the region’s history, the interactions between different cultures, and the early days of European settlement in North America.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
