HI 338 History of New York State (3)
A survey of the history of the region now known as New York State from its earliest habitation by native Americans through its Dutch and English colonial heritage to its development as a distinctive state in a new nation, a commercial link between the East and the Western Frontier, and a world cosmopolitan center. Attention is given to New York's recent experience; to important personalities and issues which have shaped its commercial, artistic, and political image; and to encounters among Native Americans, European, and West African cultures in the context of New York history.
