Bright Minds: from the John Adams Institute
Russell Shorto: From New Amsterdam to New York
09 Feb 2022
Russell Shorto is an American historian, journalist and author. In 2004, he published The Island at the Center of the World: the Epic Story of Dutch Manhattan and the Forgotten Colony that Shaped America, for which he spent many hours in the New Netherland archives. It's an eye-opening book, and a marvelous historical retelling of the Dutch colony of New Amsterdam before it became New York. Between 2008 and 2013, he lived in Amsterdam, where he was the director of the John Adams Institute.Support the show
