Summary:

"Author Dr. James W. Bradley explores the interaction between Native Americans and the Dutch settlers living in the Beverwijck settlement, now present-day Albany. He discusses the mutual respect between the two groups and how, despite some conflicts, they established reciprocal relationships that led to the settlement of the Capital Region."--Nysm.nysed.gov.
