Over at Low-countries.com, I published a review of a new book about the Dutch language in America. The English version is already up here: https://www.the-low-countries.com/article/colonial-echoes-when-americans-spoke-dutch and a Dutch version of this review will appear soon in De Lage Landen magazine.

Michael, Attached is my review of the Droege book, to be published in ‘de Halve Maen’, whenever the editor gets to it. i pretty much agree with you on all points, but was so disappointed in the hyperbole, nothing actually new, no deep insight of the book, that my review is a lot more scathing. BTW – Droge does address the second wave of dutch immigration. read again the chapter/section about Paterson. Marcel
