New York’s ancient story unfolds through its earliest peoples, their ruins, and the age of discovery.
This volume surveys the aboriginal antiquities, traces tribal beginnings, and follows European exploration that shaped the region’s history.
Designed for curious readers and students, the book presents a careful, documentary approach. It draws on early accounts and archaeological notes to frame how New York’s land and peoples were first understood and how later explorers and settlers laid the groundwork for a shared history.
Ideal for readers of early American history, colonial studies, and regional archaeology.

The dark ages had vanished. Ere the dawn of this event in those countries which now hold in Europe the balance of power, and maintain the dominion of letters; literature and science had displayed, in those vast regions which submitted to the yoke of Islamism, a brilliant light, from the ninth to the fourteenth century. The diversified character of this splendid era, and its remote influence upon the revival of European learning and the discovery of America, do not fall within the scope of our design, or we might show, that under the auspices of Haroun al Raschid, celebrated for his protection of letters, and of Al Mamoun,* the true father of Arabic literature, who esteemed the literary relics of his conquered countries, as the most precious tribute that could be brought to the foot of his throne, and whose court appeared more like a learned acade' my, than the centre of government, Bagdad became the capital of letters, as well as of the caliphs, and the sciences pervaded the very extremities of their wide-spread empire.
