Trade Review
"Holland on the Hudson takes into account social, political, demographic, and economic factors in assessing the history of New Netherland. The author skillfully unravels the commercial and political intrigues back in the Netherlands that so affected life in the Dutch colony across the Atlantic. Through extensive research and methodological dexterity, moreover, Oliver Rink has produced a history of New Netherland and an example of transatlantic scholarship worthy of emulation."—New York History
"Rink's sources and his perspectives make his book an important contribution to the understanding of the Dutch experience in North America. . . . A fine piece of work."—Choice
