In Volume II of her ambitious 1909 history of New York City, Van
Rensselaer picks up in 1664 during the reconstruction of New
Netherland following its loss to England and goes on to chart the
city's changing character as the Dutch and English vie for
political and cultural influence. Growing by fits and starts, this
city of only several thousand people is revealed in all its awkward
infancy, from its early revolts and uprisings through its command
by the militia in 1689-1691. This is a fascinating and detailed
account, perfect for students, historians, and anyone with an
interest in pre-Revolutionary New York. Devoted to the study of art
and architecture, American author MARIANA GRISWOLD VAN RENSSELAER
(1851-1934) was born in New York City and was an honorary member of
the American Institute of Architects. In a rare accomplishment for
a woman at the time, she received a doctorate of literature from
Columbia University in 1910. Her other books include English
Cathedrals, Art Out of Doors, and One Man Who Was Content.
