Zion on the Hudson: Dutch New York and New Jersey in the Age of Revivals
Editorial Reviews
David Stern Cohen, New Jersey Historical Commission
"Fabend relates developments in the Reformed Dutch Church during the Second Great Awakening to larger themes in American social history, such as the evolution of ethnic identity, the changing roles of women, and the history of reform movements. It is serious scholarship, yet it is written in a style that is accessible to the general reader."
Charles T. Gehring, Director, New Netherland Project.
"Zion on the Hudson is required reading for anyone struggling with the questions of why 'Dutchness' persisted in New York and New Jersey, and what eventually caused it to disappear. Making use of a wide array of previously untapped sources, Fabend unfolds the story of Dutch persistence in a beautifully written style."
