Over three centuries ago, the Dutch colonized a large portion of the northeastern United States. This area, called New Netherland, included New York, New Jersey, Delaware, most of Connecticut, and some of Pennsylvania. The fur trade drove a frontier economy. New Netherland was far removed from the political disputes of Europe, but not immune to the consequences that ensued. The Edge of New Netherland takes us back in time and gives us a glimpse of an emerging nation from a Dutch and Swedish perspective. It is an evocative look back along the banks of the Delaware River and an overview of New Netherland's interesting domain. Writen by L. F. Tantillo with over 50 full color illustrations by the the author/artist.
