by Patrick Catel

Overview

Step back in time and visit New York during the Colonial period. What began as a Dutch settlement quickly became home to English and German immigrants. Find out what made New York unique, how it got the nickname "the Empire State," what role it played during the Revolutionary War, and what daily life was like in Colonial times and the early days of statehood.
