A review by rroseking
The Island at the Center of the World: The Epic Story of Dutch Manhattan and the Forgotten Colony That Shaped America by Russell Shorto

informative inspiring medium-paced

3.0

I had to read this for my senior seminar and am currently writing a paper about how I don't agree with Shorto's take on Dutch tolerance in New Netherland. However for a pop history book it is informative. I am just not a fan of the glossy analysis.
