Under the title, “Coming to Terms with Early New Netherland – New York History”, Hubert de Leeuw, in collaboration with Timothy Paulson, has issued a trio of English language books on the origins of New Netherland.

Dutch versions are in the works, as well as three other books covering the original 16th- and early 17th-century text of the primary sources about the history of New Netherlands (and New York) transcribed in the Dutch language used at that time. The release for these is to be announced.

These titles are all available for download, free of charge, in PDF format and e-book, or order them as a printed book in our shop.

Purple Mountain Press specializes in books about the Catskills, Hudson Valley, Adirondacks, Lake George, and Mohawk and Champlain Valleys. The press grew out of a printing business started in 1973 by Wray and Loni Rominger in the village of Fleischmanns, New York, who turned to full time book publishing in 1988. Wray and Loni initially published titles about the surrounding Catskills and nearby Hudson Valley, but extended the house’s scope to other areas of New York State in 1990 when they acquired Harbor Hill Books, another publisher of regional books. Subjects include regional history, military history, transportation, natural history, folklore, travel and outdoor recreation.
