[201]. The claims put forward by Douglass Campbell, The Puritan in Holland, England and America, are now generally considered as thoroughly unsound. Cf. the article by the Dutch historian, H. T. Colenbrander, “The Dutch Element in American History,” in Annual Report of the American Historical Association, 1909, pp. 191-203. Also, in the same report, Ruth Putnam, “The Dutch Element in the United States,” pp. 203-19.
