Diedrich Knickerbocker and Irving’s New York History
The piece explains that Diedrich Knickerbocker likely never lived in New York's early days and that Washington Irving coined the name to lampoon Dutch settlers. It notes the Knickerbocker History of New York was satirical and offended descendants, with records offering no proof of the character. The Times commentary ends with a nod to Euripides.
