Invading Paradise: Esopus Settlers at War with Natives, 1659, 1663
reopens and redirects debate about causes of the two Esopus Wars in
what are now Kingston and Hurley, New York. Historical studies are
found inadequate to explain the conflict and its genocidal outcome.
If causality is ever to be reliably decided, the principal actors
in this colonial drama need study. Records of aboriginals are
understandably scant, while those of settlers are full enough to
give impressions of their motivations and attitudes to the
frontier. This study is the first to introduce as individuals the
main European immigrants involved in the wars. Were they prepared
for what confronted them upon acquiring native agricultural lands?
Readers are invited to consider exactly what happened to bring on
violence.
