I just completed reading a book, that I'll call a Historical Novel. It changed my entire picture of the founding of America. It follows the discovery and growth of what, today, is called Manhattan Island. Of course included is Henry Hudson's discovery of the Hudson River. Then it was New Netherlands.
I was interested in this book because I have discoverd through DNA that my family was from the Flatlands of New Netherlands. I haven't found a paper trail for this, but based on DNA, it looks good.
If you are interested in this type of book at all, I highly recommend it and it's an easy read.
