About this book

Diedrich Knickerbocker, a fictional Dutch-American historian, narrates the story of New Amsterdam in seven books, from the beginning of the world to the rule of the Dutch governors, among them Wouter Van Twiller, William Kieft and Peter Stuyvesant. Washington Irving brought it out in December 1809, at the age of twenty-six, and it won him his first wide success. The introduction in this edition quotes Walter Scott, who read it aloud to friends, laughed throughout and found it close to the style of Dean Swift. This complete edition runs to two volumes.
