I’m listening to historian Maeve Kane, and I’m floored that along with the rise and crash of the fur trade, there was an entire Munsee whaling industry. Most of this centered on the right whale, which was completely wiped out locally by the start of the 18th century.

Dutch Slavery varied drastically depending on the geographic location, this isn’t to be confused with the actual daily “state” of being held in bondage. The Hudson Valley was quite different from Northern Brazil, Berbice or Curaçao.

Some wonderful artist renditions of what the Philipse Manor property would have looked like in 1750 and then in the post-Revolutionary period, when it was up for sale after the family fled for their loyalists views. The “lower mill” in Yonkers was intended as a homestead and “vault.”

I love the idea of Vermeer and Rembrandt being representative of a light and dark version of New Netherland. The use of illumination shades helps to balance the dour Burgher or haughty Schout,
Ok so I viewed all 10 Vermeer’s on display in NYC, so I’ll start with the two on loan to The Frick:
“Lady writing letter with her Maid,” 1670-71
“Love Letter,” 1699-70

Pretty awesome AI image of Frederick Philipse lighting a signal fire to Captain Kidd on the Hudson, I paired it with some of my actual photos of the spot. Captain Kidd is going to get himself in trouble by attacking an Armenian owned ship,

Interesting the role that Pennsylvania plays in the “Transition Century” I’m focused on here in the Hudson Valley. From 1664-1681, Dutch merchants in New York could still reliably sail up the Delaware and Schuykill rivers to trade for furs deep within the interior.

I find it fascinating that we see major anglicizing of Dutch names by the 1660s, still with many using the original Dutch initials to mark their identity throughout life. This was an intentional aspect of the founding of the Philipse Dynasty, Hoddenbruch to Hardenbroeck,

One of the main stipulations of any agreement between the British Jamaican authorities and the Maroon communities was the construction of roads through the mountainous interior and the continued maintenance of those routes by the Maroons.

The 1760 Jamaican Stamp Tax served as a model for the 1765 Act in the mainland colonies. A significant reason the British Caribbean colonies did not join the revolt was the substantial threat of slave uprisings, such as Tacky's Revolt, which nearly devastated Jamaica in 1762-1763.
