Excerpt from History of the City of New York, Vol. 1: In the Seventeenth Century
To trace during these eighty years the fortunes of the city called New Amsterdam and New York I have had to say much of the province called New Netherland and New York, for the city was the focus and also the driving-wheel of the life of the province while, on the other hand, it was vitally affected by much that happened elsewhere. Yet I have not written a history of the province. That would embrace the local history of all its parts. I have said only as much about other parts as was needful to make plain the story of the capital.
