The American Diary of Jacob Van Hinte

Edited by Peter Ester, Nella Kennedy and Earl Wm. Kennedy

Diary cover This personal diary of the author of the monumental Netherlanders in America of his trip to America in 1921 is rich in insights and detail. For decades, this diary of Jacob Van Hinte, author of the monumental Netherlanders in America, has been hidden in the archives of the Van Hinte family. Until now, it has been available only in Dutch.

Van Hinte鈥檚 diary is quite compressed, yet it is rich in insights and detail. We travel with him in our imagination from Rotterdam by ship to America, in and across America by all the means of transport available in 1921 鈥� steamboat, taxi cab, ferry boat, street car, subway, train, interurban railway, automobile and paddle boat. We get his immediate response to the cities, towns, and villages that he visited 鈥� from New York to Chicago, from Grand Rapids and Holland, Michigan, to Pella and Orange City, Iowa, and all the scenery in between.
