Narratives of New Netherland: 1609-1664 is a historical book written by John Franklin Jameson and published in 1909. The book provides a comprehensive account of the early Dutch settlement of New Netherland, which is now known as the state of New York. The author has compiled and translated several primary sources, including letters, journals, and official documents, that offer unique insights into the lives of the Dutch settlers and their interactions with the Native Americans. The book covers a period of 55 years, from the arrival of Henry Hudson in 1609 to the English takeover of the colony in 1664. Jameson's work highlights the struggles and triumphs of the Dutch colonizers, their trade relationships with the Native Americans, and the political and social developments in the colony.
