Many years ago,Manhattan Island,which is a part of the great city of New York,was covered with forest.Along its shores were small Indian villages.In fact,Indians were the only people on the island until 1609.In the spring of that year,Henry Hudson,a famous sea captain,arrived there.He was trying to find a short way to the Far East for Dutch traders.His ship was very small.It was only about the size of one of the lifeboats you see on modern ocean liners today.Of course,Henry Hudson did not find a shorter way to the Far East.Instead he reached the shores of North America.He came to the mouth of the large waterway now called the Hudson River.

As he came near to the shore,he saw an Indian village.The Indians seemed friendly.They even came out to meet the ship and offered their furs to the Dutch sailor  in exchange for glass beads and other small things.When Henry Hudson returned to Holland,he showed everyone the fine furs.He told of the rich soil,and the streams filled with fish.Later Dutch traders began to send many ships to the rich new world across the sea.
