Trace New York's beginnings in this, the first of a two-part episode on the Dutch settlement that evolved from a backwater trading outpost into the center of world finance and commerce. On this journey you'll start on the other side of the world with the Dutch East India Company, join Henry Hudson in his quest for a Northwest Passage and end up on the southern tip of Manhattan with Peter Minuit. In Part 2 you'll see how the city's residents prospered, then ultimately rebelled against a tyrannical director-general, gifting the New World with the lasting legacy of Dutch civil liberties.
