8 Recent historical writing has been more interested in commercial and material processes; see Thomas J. Condon, New York Beginnings: The Commercial Origins of New Netherland (New York, 1968); and Van Cleaf Bachman, Peltries or Plantations (Baltimore, 1969). The work of historical ethnography is only beginning; see Peter O. Wacker, “The Dutch Culture Area in the Northeast, 1609-1800,” NJH 104 (1986), 1-21; idem, Land and People; A Cultural Geography of Preindustrial New Jersey (New Brunswick, 1975); Sophia Hinshallwood, “The Dutch Culture Area of the Mid-Hudson Valley” (thesis, Rutgers, 1981); David S. Cohen, “How Dutch Were the Dutch of New Netherland?,” NYH 38 (1981), 43-60.
