"He was the only one. He was the only man to have committed suicide
in the town's seventeenth-century history." So begins Donna
Merwick's fascinating tale of a Dutch notary who ended his life in
his adopted community of Albany. In a major feat of historical
reconstruction, she introduces us to Adriaen Janse van Ilpendam and
the long-forgotten world he inhabited in Holland's North American
colony. Her powerful narrative will make readers care for this
quiet and studious man, an "ordinary" settler for whom the clash of
empires brought tragedy.
