Old New York---Check it Out!

There is a VERY interesting article in the September 2009 issue of National Geographic magazine.

"Before New York, Rediscovering the Wilderness of 1609" discusses the work that has been done to use modern equipment and ingenuity to recreate what New York City looked like in 1609. It's fascinating and helps one to imagine what our Elting ancestor, Jan, found when he arrived there about a half century later.

I had never thought about this topic prior to opening the mail yesterday, and now I can't quit thinking about it!
