Summary "America, Volume 3 (of 6)" by Joel Cook is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This volume delves into America's picturesque landscapes, focusing primarily on the natural beauty and significant historical sites, particularly around New York Harbor and its surroundings. The book seeks to illuminate the enchanting environment and rich historical context that shaped the United States, serving as a guide for readers interested in the early developments of American geography and society. The opening of this volume introduces the legendary navigator Hendrick Hudson and his exploration of the Hudson River in 1609, where he mistook it for a passage to the Indies. It describes the significant interactions between Hudson and the Native Americans he encountered, particularly the Lenni Lenapes and Mohicans, including cultural exchanges and Hudson's dependence on Indigenous hospitality. The narrative further unfolds the establishment of New Amsterdam, the gradual development of Manhattan, and key events in New York's colonial history, such as the sale of Manhattan Island to the Dutch for beads and trinkets. This sets the stage for a broader exploration of the New York area’s evolving landscape and influences on American culture, as portrayed through vivid descriptions and historical anecdotes.
