Recenzii

"A thoroughly structured, very personal, and profoundly innovative assessment of one of the major figures of early American history, Petrus Stuyvesant. Merwick goes to the heart of the matter, and indeed of the man himself."-Willem Th. M. Frijhoff, Erasmus University "A major contribution to the fields of early American history and early modern New Netherland studies... Her direct, almost intimate address to readers made this book hard to put down."-Robert St. George, University of Pennsylvania
