In 1609 the sailors aboard Henry Hudson's ship the Half Moon laid their eyes upon the entrance to what would come to beknown as the Hudson River, and within 15 years the Dutch beganto settle the newly discovered land, creating the colony of New Netherland. Explorers, Fortunes and Love Letters: A Window on New Netherland (Mount Ida Press, 2009) is a compilation of new essays that together explore the fascinating story of this diverse and enterprising colony and its enduring cultural impact.

Rose, author and food historian; and David Voorhees, Managing Editor of de Halve Maen and Director of the Papers of Jacob Leisler Project at NYU, for a discussion moderated by Charles Th. Gehring, Ph.D., Director of the New Netherland Project and the celebrated translator of the 17th-century Dutch documents that have opened the world of New Netherland to the 21st century.
