Purchase options and add-ons

The year was 1609, and British explorer Henry Hudson had landed in North America at the bidding of the Dutch East India Company. But Hudson was not the first man to set foot on Manhattan Island. Henry Hudson and the Algonquins of New York chronicles this historic “discovery” with a hereto unknown perspective—that of the people who met Hudson’s boat on their shore. Using all available sources, including oral history passed down to today’s Algonquins, Evan Pritchard tells a colonization story through several lenses: from Hudson himself, as well as his bodyguard, scribe, and personal Judas, Robert Juet; to the Eastern Algonquin people, who saw his boat as a floating waterfowl, and his arrival as the fulfillment of an ancient prophecy.

Very good book
Reviewed in the United States on December 31, 2014
This history focuses on the native American point of view handed down and also contains subjective narratives based upon speculations and likelihoods. Evidently Hudson's journal was largely lost and Juet's log was fairly bland reading. Much remains a mystery for the ages.

Book was in great shape but the content was what I expected after reading Native New Yorkers.

We’ve bought a few copies to share with others already. What an insightful history of New York. It’s definitely not the sort of history you learn about in public school.
