Summary
At its height in the first half of the 17th century, the Dutch West India Company controlled a scattered but sizeable portion of the western hemisphere, from present-day Albany, New York, to northeast Brazil. In 1647 Caspar van Baerle created a landmark historical narrative, which he published in Latin. Now, after more than 350 years, this narrative is available in English.
