Book Description
Invading Paradise: Esopus Settlers at War with Natives, 1659, 1663 reopens and redirects debate about causes of the two Esopus Wars in what are now Kingston and Hurley, New York. Historical studies are found inadequate to explain the conflict and its genocidal outcome. If causality is ever to be reliably decided, the principal actors in this colonial drama need study. Records of aboriginals are understandably scant, while those of settlers are full enough to give impressions of their motivations and attitudes to the frontier. This study is the first to introduce as individuals the main European immigrants involved in the wars. Were they prepared for what confronted them upon acquiring native agricultural lands? Readers are invited to consider exactly what happened to bring on violence.

Book Description
"This work is organized into eight separate sections that reflect my eight great-grandparents. When I began genealogical research, I discovered a unique situation, that all eight great-grandparents had arrived at Liberty, Nebraska, between 1865-1885. This work is the outgrowth of the attempt to trace each of them back to the original immigrants to these shores"--p. IV.
