They said it was an amazing read about New York's Dutch origins and early history before the British took over.
I read this book. It was called Island in the Center of the World. It was about New York City because, you know, before the British when it was like just the Dutch, this author, Russell Shorto. It's an amazing read because we only know a little about British society but not much about Dutch society in New Amsterdam in the 1600s.
They were like in the 1600s. They were as woke as we are now. Dude, they had no slaves. Everybody was out there, fucking everybody.
