Brief and True Narrative of the Hostile Conduct of the Barbarous Natives Towards the Dutch Nation (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Witness the tension and turmoil of early New Netherland through a historically documented account of conflicts with Native tribes.
This edition presents a concise narrative of hostilities, peace treaties, and the hard choices faced by Dutch authorities and settlers in the mid-1600s. Drawn from letters, petitions, and official appendices, it sheds light on the challenges of frontier politics, war, and the struggle to protect property and lives in a young colonial landscape.
The text frames a volatile period when treaties were tested, communities faced raids and massacres, and leaders struggled to respond with prudence and courage. It offers a window into how colonial governance, local outrages, and Native relations shaped the course of a growing colony.
- Carefully documented accounts of conflicts, responses, and outcomes from the mid-1600s
- Excerpts from petitions, correspondence, and official records that shaped policy
- Context for the limits and challenges of colonial diplomacy and defense
- Insights into how settlers, merchants, and magistrates navigated crisis
Ideal for readers of early American history and colonial diplomacy who want a focused look at frontier pressure, peace efforts, and the human cost of conflict.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the relations between the Dutch and the Native Americans during the Dutch colony of New Netherland in America. The book contains a historical record of letters and reports, written by the Dutch government officials and civilians involved, which narrate the attempted peaceful coexistence between the colony and the Native Americans, as well as the conflicts and violence that occurred. These conflicts reached a peak in 1655 when Native Americans attacked Dutch settlements, leading to a harsh retaliation by the Dutch that resulted in heavy losses on both sides.
