Excerpt from A History of the State of Delaware: From Its First Settlement Until the Present Time, Containing a Full Account of the First Dutch and Swedish Settlements, With a Description of Its Geography and Geology
This State having been first discovered by the Dutch, and the first settlement made by them and the Swedes, its early history must necessarily be found in those languages. These two nations inha bited the Delaware between them, and struggled for mastery, until finally the former. Reduced the latter to subjection. The Dutch officials on the Delaware sent a regular account to New York of every matter of in terest. The New York officials sent copies of those accounts to Holland. The Swedes on the Delaware sent accounts to Sweden. These several accounts, both Dutch and Swedish, have many of them been preserved either m the original manuscripts, or by re cord in books, and it is from these records and cotem porary works, written by Dutch and Swedish authors, that we are enabled to get a minute and circumstan tial account of our early history.
The Dutch records by the liberality of the State of New York have been translated into English, by Broadhead and o'callighan, and published in thirty large volumes. Among these records are the letters of Budde and Beekman both of whom minutely record the occurrences on the Delaware. The corres pondence of the latter, who was governor of the ter ritory of the northern side of the Christiana, is espe cially valuable, containing, as it does, a succinct record of the events in the territory that now comprises this State from 1659 to 1664. The Swedish documents, from which we extract our principal information in relation to Swedish affairs, were furnished by Mr. Russell, our former minister to Sweden, to the American Philosophical Society of Philadelphia. They were translated and published several years ago in the Register of Pennsylvania. One of the most useful (though also, in some instances, one of the most inac curate,) of Swedish works is that entitled, A Short Description of the Province of New Sweden, by Tito mas C'ampanias, of Holme, printed at Stockholm in the year 1702, under the patronage of Charles the 12th.
