To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The settlers of the New Netherland, following hard after the pio- neer, drove their Dutch bargain for the Island with a few Indian rep- resentatives, perhaps from their village on the Riverdale hillside, in all Washington Heights in 1776. 51 probability ignoring the real inhabitants who dwelt on the only part of the Island of value from an Indian point of view, the tree-crowned heights which formed shelter, fishing and hunting ground.
That the natives had little understanding that they were par...ting with these their natural rights appears clear from their resentment when later troubles arose on these subjects, and their late maintenance of a claim to the extreme summit of the Island.
The wild wooded heights presented but little attraction to the prosaic farmers of the Harlem flatlands, and for many a long decade the Indians were left to such possession as they desired, one of their encampments being on the south side of Inwood Hill, near the foot of Bolton road, and another probably on Jeffrey's Hook, with a small space under cultivation above that locality, near the highest elevation, on which a field of maize extended south of i8ist street, between the pres- ent King's Bridge road and the Hudson bluff, in a marshy depression, the source of the little brook which still finds an outlet down the valley northward to the Harlem river at Sherman's creek.
