Behind Manhattan Gables: A Story Of New Amsterdam, 1663-1664 is a historical fiction novel written by Edward Augustus Rand in 1896. The book is set in New Amsterdam, which is now known as New York City, during the years 1663-1664. The story follows the life of a young man named Jan Van Ryn, who is a Dutch immigrant trying to make a life for himself in the New World. Jan is a talented artist and hopes to use his skills to make a living in the bustling city. Throughout the book, Jan encounters a variety of characters, including other Dutch immigrants, Native Americans, and English settlers. He also becomes involved in a love triangle with two women, one of whom is the daughter of a wealthy merchant. As Jan navigates the complex social and political landscape of New Amsterdam, he begins to uncover secrets and conspiracies that threaten to upend the entire colony. Behind Manhattan Gables offers a vivid portrayal of life in colonial America, with detailed descriptions of the city's architecture, culture, and daily routines. The book also explores themes of identity, loyalty, and the struggle for power in a rapidly changing world. With its engaging plot and rich historical detail, Behind Manhattan Gables is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of New York City or colonial America.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
