Description:Excerpt from Dalmaqua: A Legend of Aowasting Lake, Near Lake Minnewaska, Shawangunk Mountains, New York After the discovery of the Hudson River by the Dutch in 1609, the States-General of Holland granted, in 1614, to the New Netherland Company certain rights "to visit, navigate, and use" the lands discovered. In the Spring of 1615, a party of Dutch traders landed at Ponckhockie, now the southeasterly part of the city of Kingston, N. Y., built a fort, and established a trading post there, calling it Rondout. The traders were received by the Indians with great hospitality mingled with awe. Corn and game were given the settlers, hoping thereby to secure their friendship and protection. Encroachments were soon made upon the possessions of the Indians and they began to defend their rights by force and stratagem. Governor Kieft, in 1643, determined to exterminate the Indians in the region of the Catskills and the Shawangunk Mountains, and made war upon them for that purpose. Many Indians were killed and many captives taken during this war, but, failing to carry out his purpose of extermination, he deported the captives to Curacoa, an island belonging to the Dutch, situated in the Southern West Indies, where they were consigned to slavery. Many of the Indian captives died there from the inhospitable climate and from the severe servitude to which they were subjected.
