The story follows the life of a young man named Adriaen Van der Donck, who is the first Knickerbocker to be born in the New World. Adriaen is the son of a wealthy Dutch merchant and grows up with a privileged lifestyle, but he is also deeply curious about the world around him and eager to explore.As he grows older, Adriaen becomes increasingly interested in the politics and culture of the colony, which is controlled by the Dutch West India Company. He begins to question the authority of the Company and becomes an advocate for greater rights and freedoms for the colonists. Along the way, he falls in love with a young woman named Cornelia and must navigate the challenges of their relationship in a society that values wealth and status above all else.As tensions rise between the colonists and the Company, Adriaen becomes a key figure in the struggle for independence. He works alongside other prominent figures of the time, including Peter Stuyvesant and the Dutch governor of New Amsterdam, to fight for the rights of the people and establish a new government.''The First Of The Knickerbockers'' is a richly detailed and engaging historical novel that brings to life the vibrant and tumultuous world of colonial New York.
