Summary "The Mentor: Holland, v. 2, Num. 6, Serial No. 58" by Dwight L. Elmendorf is a travel publication written in the early 20th century. This informative piece serves as a survey of the historical, cultural, and geographical attributes of Holland while aiming to spark interest in various fields of knowledge. Through its accessible text and illustrative images, it encapsulates the essence of Dutch heritage, art, and landscapes. In the book, Elmendorf explores various facets of Holland, including its rich history marked by battles for independence and the strategic significance of its geography, which has led to innovations such as dikes and windmills for land reclamation and water management. The narrative highlights key historical figures like William the Silent, nicknamed for his discretion, who played a pivotal role in the Dutch struggle against Spanish rule. He details Dutch cities, notably Amsterdam's unique architecture built on piles, and discusses cultural elements such as the tulip trade of Haarlem and the artistic legacy of famous painters like Rembrandt and Frans Hals. The work not only provides historical insights but also paints a vivid picture of the Dutch way of life, from bustling markets in Rotterdam to the refined atmosphere of The Hague.
