{"product_id":"9780788423369","title":"The De Forests And The Walloon Founding Of New Amsterdam","description":"Green outlines for us the first families who colonized New Amsterdam, the area located on the southern tip of Manhattan Island, nor referred to as New York City.

They were not part of a colony established and planned by the Dutch Government, but created for themselves their own community, and sought nothing more from the Dutch than transportation to the new land and permission to be left to establish their own community. They arrived at the mouth of the Hudson in 1624, and shortly thereafter the Walloon family formed the first permanent colony.--Back cover.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eAuthor: \u003c\/b\u003eLucy Garrison Green\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/b\u003eHeritage Books, Inc.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/b\u003eSep 17, 2014\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eNumber of Pages: \u003c\/b\u003e100 pages\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eLanguage: \u003c\/b\u003eEnglish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eBinding: \u003c\/b\u003ePaperback\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eISBN-10: \u003c\/b\u003e0788423363\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/b\u003e9780788423369\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Heritage Books, Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48817170153777,"sku":"9780788423369","price":21.44,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0798\/8215\/8385\/files\/9780788423369.jpg?v=1712990864","url":"https:\/\/www.recomparo.com\/products\/9780788423369","provider":"ReComparo.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
