In 1912, Theodore Roosevelt addressed the American Historical Association to call for American history to be written as compelling stories of literary quality. Editor Allen Johnson of Yale University responded by publishing the Chronicles of America series: 50 succinct volumes on regional and thematic American history. These books, intended for secondary schools and college students, are expository works of American history composed by competent historians in the 1920’s, well before the special pleading and upending of social norms typical of histories after 1970. This series is focused on the mainstream of American political life and leadership from its initial volumes on Native Americans and European colonists to its final volumes on Woodrow Wilson, Canada, and the Hispanic Republics to our South.The Dutch and English on the Hudson, volume #7 in the Chronicles series, is the story of the founding of the Colony of New Amsterdam, its easy conquest by the English, and the early days of the colony of New York. The adventurous tale of colonial Gotham sets the stage for the story of America’s greatest city and the marketplace of the West. Author Maud Goodwin was a novelist and historian from New York. This edition contains a new bibliography of suggested readings on colonial New York assembled by the editor. This book has been formatted and typeset for Tall Men Books. It is not a facsimile reprint.
