The Journal of Jasper Dankaerts, 1679-1680 is a valuable historical document that offers the reader a unique opportunity to walk alongside the Dutch missionary Jasper Dankaerts on his journey to New Amsterdam (present-day New York) and other colonial settlements in North America. In this diary, the author describes in detail his impressions of meetings with local residents, their customs, culture and natural beauty. Written in the form of a personal journal kept by a missionary on a daily basis, this journal became an important source for the study of colonial American history. The work deepens our understanding of the lives and journeys of early settlers, revealing before us the uniqueness and complexity of American history of the 17th century."
