Holland on the Hudson traces the history of New Netherland from Henry Hudson's exploration of the region in 1609 to the surrender of the Dutch colony to an English fleet in 1664. Oliver A. Rink's approach is both narrative an analytic as he describes in detail the colony's commercial origins, its social and economic development, and the colonists' rivalry with the English in the New World.

"Holland on the Hudson takes into account social, political, demographic, and economic factors in assessing the history of New Netherland. The author skillfully unravels the commercial and political intrigues back in the Netherlands that so affected life in the Dutch colony across the Atlantic. Through extensive research and methodological dexterity, moreover, Oliver Rink has produced a history of New Netherland and an example of transatlantic scholarship worthy of emulation."—New York History
