Ward then delves into the establishment of the Dutch West India Company's colony of New Netherland in the region, and the subsequent founding of the Swedish colony of New Sweden.Ward examines the various conflicts and alliances between the Dutch, Swedes, and Lenape people during this period, including the famous battles of Fort Nassau and Fort Christina.
