| Content Description | Printed on the bottom left corner is the signature of John Romeyn Brodhead, an agent of the State of New York hired to procure and transcribe documents in Europe. Signed by P. H. Loffelt, who copied this document for Brodhead in the Hague, and by J. C. de Jorge, an archivist. Uses the names of Native American tribes to designate different areas of the New Netherlands. Brodhead's notations indicate that this map could have possibly been from the Octroy of the States General from 11 October 1614, or from the written report of Dutch Captain Cornelis Hendrickson, who explored the Delaware River in 1616. A previous assessment of this map claimed that it was created by, or published in a work created by the historian Edmund Bailey O'Callaghan. |
