Abstract
This booklet on the founding of New Sweden (now the present-day New Jersey area) was prepared for use in the public schools by the Federal Writers' Project of the Works Progress Administration in New Jersey. It recounts the quickly growing tensions between the Swedes, and the Dutch and English settlers. The bulletin also describes other facets of colony life, including the construction of log homes, the establishment of trading posts, and common foods.
